or “Tom Saep Moo” for short (
) is a sour and spicy soup with pork
ribs that originates from Isaan. The broth is flavoured with ingredients such as lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, tamarind and usually many Thai
chilis, which give it a strong and spicy note.
Mushrooms are often added to the soup as a further garnish. The finished Tom Saep Kra Dhuk Moo is usually garnished with fresh herbs. The dish is also known
under the name “Tom Saep Kra Dhuk Gaeu” (
).
