Ingredients
  

For tomyum soup

  • 5 Thai red chilli
  • 2 Lemongrass
  • 1 Sliced white/yellow onion
  • 2 inches Galangal
  • 5 Kaffir lime leaves
  • 6 Button mushroom
  • Lime juice from 2 limes
  • 3 tbsp Fish sauce
  • 6 cups Water
  • 3 tbsp Cilantro

For wonton

  • 250 gm Minced chicken
  • 1 tbsp Minced ginger
  • 2 Spring onion/green onion
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 200 gm Wonton wraps

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix the chicken, ginger, green onion and soy sauce. Based on the strength of the soy sauce, add salt if required.
  • Dab at the corners and sides of the wonton wraps with water. Then, fill the center of the wrap with the chicken mixture (the quantity depends on the size of the wrap) and fold them into various shapes. For this step, let your imagination come into play. I have tried some shapes.
  • Boil some water. Put the wontons in it. When the wontons come to the surface of the water, it's cooked. If left for long time, the wontons will become soggy.Bring the water to boil. Add the ingredients mentioned for Tom Yum except lime juice and fish sauce. When the strong fragrance comes from the soup, add fish sauce.
  • Add lime juice after turning off the stove to get a clear soup. If the soup is boiling hot when adding the lime juice,the soup will end up cloudy.
