Tom Yum Paste
Tom Yum Paste is a concentrated Thai seasoning paste used to build the classic hot-and-sour Tom Yum soup and to add bold citrusy, galangal and chili flavors to marinades and stir-fries. It is typically used in small amounts because it is intensely flavored and often quite salty. Nutritionally, Tom Yum paste is a condiment rather than a source of energy or protein, and many commercial versions are high in sodium — about 16g of salt per 100g — so portion control or low-salt versions are worth considering. Despite that, the paste brings herbs and spices (lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaf, chili) that contribute modest amounts of micronutrients such as vitamin K and manganese and add flavor without extra calories; using homemade or reduced-salt varieties preserves the culinary character while lowering sodium intake.
