Tom yum kung, or Tom yum goong, (Thai: ต้มยำกุ้ง RTGS: tom yam kung) is the Thai spicy and sour shrimp soup—a variant of Tom yum, combined with many of Thailand's key herbal and seasoning ingredients, often served with a side of steamed rice, sometimes with a dollop of chili paste and a splash of lime juice, enhancing its spicy and tangy profile.
