I really had high hopes for this recipe as tom yum is one of my favorite Thai soups. I'm not a very creative cook, though, and follow recipes to the letter, and this one turned out bland and watery. I was able to make it palatable by adding a second tablespoon of both veggie stock base and oyster sauce and lots of extra lime juice. If anyone knows where I might have gone wrong, please, by all means point it out to me. Thanks.

Ever since I can remember I've enjoyed cooking. I would say that I am adventurous in the kitchen and like to try new dishes and ingredients. I am lucky to live in an area that promotes local farmers and local foods. One of my favorite seasons is summer because of all the farmers markets and u-pick farms. As my name suggests, I am a junkie to this site, it's been a great way to try new recipes and learn new things about cooking.
