The Story of Tom Yum: Thailand's Most Misunderstood (and Probably Oldest) Dish
Jump to Connections
346,319 Views • Oct 11, 2023 • Click to toggle off description
Tom Yum is one of the most famous Thai dishes on the planet. But the truth is, Tom Yum- at least before it was discovered by the outside world- isn't a dish at all; it's a category, something with thousands of years of history- literally- and more epic versions than we could possibly imagine.

In this video, we'll explore the history of what would become Tom Yum, find versions from across the ages and culinary spectrum, and figure out why one specific version of the soup became such a global institution.

Tom yum is definitely not more touristy than Pad Thai. Tom Yum is eaten quite regularly when we go to seafood restaurant, tam-sang restaurant (ตามสั่ง), and is quite prevalent as a soup base for a lot of noodle shops.

Im just blown away at the quality of your channel, you are like a private investigator that digs deep into the history and origins of these foods, and you go even deeper than what the people eating it, cooking it even know about the origins of the very food they are making a living from....simply amazing!!!! Rock on my man!

Great video, as usual! Jaspar is so right about the number of varieties of som tum - we did a road trip around Isaan earlier in the year (highly recommended) and ate som tum nearly every day without eating the same thing twice. OTR has really changed my approach to travel, now my favourite thing to do in a new place is research what the local specialities are and find where I can eat them.

i love your videos because it makes me understand things I never even thought about. This is the food I grew up with so to me it's just regular food. It's amazing that it is considered special and worth studying by people from other cultures but at the same time it's just kind of weird but I cannot explain why. Anyway thank you for highlighting Lao and Thai culinary history I'm so happy that other people care about it because as a kid I was embarrassed about the food I ate and I would have to eat in secret. Today, I think people are more open-minded about food from different cultures which is great but I wish people were like that when I was younger

I enjoy your dive into the history of the food, as well as the variations. I would love to see you create a recipe to add to the video. As always, your videos are well done, and I enjoy when they come out.

This might be a bit hoity-toity, but one distinction I'd add to enhance your appreciation of how flavor is balanced in Thai cuisine is called the "order of flavors." Basically it's which flavor hits first and what aftertaste follows. The best tom yums usually have an acid-heat-sweet profile, since sweetness cuts the heat and leaves you craving for another bite. In fact you can see how the flavor is ordered at 6:22, spicy from namprikpao and chili flakes, sour and aroma from lime juice, salty and savory from fish sauce, then sweet and creamy. There's actually a bit of science involved, but since sugar/milk is added last, the sweetness jumps out as a distinct flavor to counterbalance the others.
