【How to Enjoy Autumn】Easy with a Hot Plate! Instant Noodles Tom Yum made with T Soup Base

Super convenient when you crave a dish with acidity! I prepared instant noodles, the versatile seasoning "T Soup Base" that easily makes authentic tom yum, and a hot plate that doesn't require fire, to cook tom yum dishes by the river.

Authentic Tom Yum by the riverside! It's super easy with T Soup Base even at the riverside.

I'm fully into a day camp that can be enjoyed with light gear without setting up a tent. Whenever I have a little time, I refresh myself in nature with my favorite gear.

The author, who was looking forward to this day's camping, had been pondering what to eat since two weeks ago. While walking through the city, thinking "How about BBQ for the first time in a while?", I couldn't forget the faint ethnic aroma that wafted by... Since that day, I have felt an intense craving for Tom Yum Kung.

Tom Yum, with its sour taste, would surely be the best to enjoy outdoors in the hot summer. So I brought along "T Soup Base". The "T" of course refers to Tom Yum.

T Soup Base is made using an original Tom Yum paste created in a seasoning factory in Thailand, which includes lemongrass and galangal, combined with Aomori-grown garlic, chili oil, fish sauce, and lemon juice, making it easy to eat without any strong aftertaste.

It's versatile in its use, so it can bring a Tom Yum flavor to anything you mix it with. By the way, "Tom Yum" in Thai means a spicy and sour soup. "Tom Yum 'Kung (Shrimp)'" refers to the dish that adds shrimp to that Tom Yum.

This time, I will try making Tom Yum primarily using instant noodles and a seafood mix! Since the seafood mix contains shrimp, is it technically Tom Yum Kung? The ingredients I've prepared are as follows.

・Instant ramen 1 pack
・Bean sprouts 1 pack
・Seafood mix 1 pack
・Lemon 1 piece
・Water<

The ingredients I prepared are somewhat approximate, but let's cut the lemon into wedges for easier eating.

Despite its slim body, the depth is 35mm, so you can also make dishes with a lot of juice, like Tom Yum Goong. It comes with a tall lid, so even when you fill it up, you can cook efficiently without losing heat.

The handle on the lid is a special version of this hot plate. Made of wood, it fits gently in your hand and will grow on you the more you use it.

Even if you do it casually, it will turn out delicious

Once you turn on the hot plate, just pour in an appropriate amount of water. Since some water will evaporate during heating, it's okay to be a little generous.

Once the water is boiling, add instant noodles, seafood mix, and bean sprouts.

And then the T soup base. Can this really make a Tom Yum flavor just like that?

Once it has cooked, finally add the T soup base. The amount is about 3 to 4 teaspoons of this product to 200cc of hot water.

Once the instant noodles are boiled, it's ready. I cut the lemon, but for the other ingredients, I just put them on the hot plate. Even when you account for the boiling time of the instant noodles, it was completed in less than 10 minutes.

You can eat it straight from the hot plate, but since I have a sensitive tongue, I plated it in a Sierra cup. It has the refreshing and appetizing aroma of lemongrass unique to Tom Yum, and I can't wait to eat it!

Squeeze plenty of lemon over it and enjoy.

The pleasant acidity gently spreads throughout the mouth with the first bite. You can also taste the garlic flavor, making it surprisingly delicious. This is so good... too good! The lemongrass adds an accent, and it's remarkably similar to the tom yum goong I had in Thailand. I was truly surprised that something so easy to make could taste so authentic.

Even though it's autumn, it's still a bit warm during the day for a day camp, so this acidity is irresistible! The spiciness is mild, which is great as the whole family can enjoy it together.

Although it doesn't use rice noodles typical of authentic tom yum goong, it pairs well with the soup and there's absolutely no discomfort. The T soup base is delicious when used as a sauce, so I want to try using it at home as well.

Plus, using a hot plate means you can enjoy it hot all the way to the last bite, making this combination simply the best!
