30 Minutes Tom Yum Spaghetti
Equipment
- 1 pan
Ingredients
For the Tom Yum Sauce
- 7 Roma tomatoes (or one 14 oz can)
- ½ red onion (or yellow or 4 -5 shallots)
- 1 stalk lemongrass
- 3 slices galangal (or 1.5 tbsp chopped)
- 5 Makrut lime leaves (Kaffir lime leaves)
- 2 Thai chilies
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 2 tbsp chili jam (Thai chili paste in soya bean oil. See the link)
For the Spaghetti
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 15 shrimp (peeled and devein)
- ½ cup squid (rings)
- 1 cup mushrooms (seafood mushrooms, oyster, button mushrooms, or Baby Bellas)
- ½ lb spaghetti noodle (dried)
- 1 tbsp salt (For cooking the noodles and a little bit to taste when cooking shrimp and squid)
- water (Fill at least 1/2 of the pot for cooking noodles)
- ¼ cup cilantro (chopped)
- 3 tbsp lime juice (fresh)
- garlic powder (optional -to taste)
Instructions
Roast Tomatoes and onion. Cook the Protein and Mushrooms.
- Preheat the oven to the broil setting (525°F or as high as possible). Chop half of a red onion into thirds and broil it for 15-20 minutes.
- While the tomatoes and onion are in the oven, cook the protein. Add a tablespoon of oil to a pan, then cook the shrimp and squid rings on high heat for one minute on each side. Season with salt and garlic powder to taste, then set aside.
- If using button or Baby Bella mushrooms, wash, slice, and pat them dry with a paper towel. Add another tablespoon of oil to the same pan used earlier. On medium heat, cook the mushrooms for at least 5 minutes, then season with salt and garlic powder. Stir and flip the mushrooms to cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes to continue drawing out moisture. (Don't worry, you cannot overcook the mushrooms.) Set it aside.
Blend the Sauce and Begin to Cook the Noodles.
- Remove the veins from the Makrut lime leaves. In a blender, add galangal, Thai chilies, lemongrass, Makrut lime leaves, fish sauce, chili jam, roasted tomatoes, and onion. (You may remove the tomato skins if you prefer.) Blend everything into a sauce for about 1-2 minutes. (Chop the aromatics into smaller pieces to make it easier to blend. See the video for clarification.)
- Start boiling water for the spaghetti, covering the pot with a lid to make it boil faster. Add some salt to the water, and once it reaches a rolling boil, add the spaghetti. Cook the pasta for 1-2 minutes less than the time indicated for al dente on the package. For example, if the instructions say to cook for 10-11 minutes, cook the noodles for 9 minutes.
Assemble and Serve
- Meanwhile, transfer the sauce to the pan you used earlier and simmer it on medium heat. If using seafood mushrooms, add them to the sauce. If the sauce starts to dry out before the pasta is ready, add one ladle of pasta water at a time to increase the volume and prevent it from drying out.
- When the pasta is ready (1 minute before al dente), add it to the sauce along with the cooked mushrooms and protein from earlier. Turn off the heat once everything is heated through, then add fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro. Stir well, serve, and enjoy!
