I cook the soup thick enough, so I don't serve a bowl of rice with the soup. The Royal Lao version of Tom Yam suggests that rice is added directly to the soup itself. In modern cooking, there are a huge variety of options for making this soup. I cooked the most popular version of "Tom yam kung", that is, with shrimp. The soup is also prepared with fish (tom yam paa), chicken (tom yam guy), seafood: squid, shrimp, scallops, mussels (tom yam thale), shrimp with coconut milk (tom yam nam khon), and even pork knuckle (tom yam ka mu).
