tom yum noodles

Spicy Thai soup

Tom yum noodles are a Thai dish combining noodles with the flavors of tom yum soup—hot, sour, and aromatic from lemongrass, galangal, lime, and chilies.

The broth is typically tangy and spicy, often with shrimp or chicken: I ordered the tom yum noodles extra spicy.

Available at Thai restaurants and as instant noodle packets.
