Delicious Tom Yum Paste
I have tried this product, along with the Lemongrass Turmeric and the Thai Basil Garlic paste. This Tom Yum is my favorite of the three. It is absolutely delicious! I highly recommend it. It tastes very fresh! Buy it! I want to continue to purchase this product. Thank you.
So hard to decide which curry paste to try. I went with the yellow curry paste and it was absolutely amazing!! Perfect blend of spices. Made it with chicken thighs, sweet potato, onions, mushrooms, and coconut milk and some fresh kaffir lime leaves from my herb garden . Rich and creamy. My husband had 3 helpings!
Glad to find an alternative to the usual cooking paste brands that you usually see in stores. The flavors really pop in these and I love that they are organic as well. Instead of 2 or three flavors, there are five to chose from (at least in my store) so it really inspires my cooking!
This review is for Tom Yum, but other choices from this brand are good too. Simmer a couple teaspoons in broth for great taste, healthy ingredients, and oh wow! fragrant aroma. Also useful for rice dishes, dressing and marinade.
I am always looking for new sauces and pastes that I can use in place of some of our traditional recipes. We recently tried Mekhala organic Tom Yum paste in place of some of the usual things we add in stir fry with chicken and vegetables. Had a really nice flavor and paired well with our vegetable choices.
Tom yum was on point with flavors and delivery of a classic Thai flavor. I love that the paste is organic and vegan friendly. I love this company and am so glad I got the chance to try this so that I can try all of the flavors!
Sorry for the headline, but it was nice to have a base to make a tom yum soup or noodles in soup dish. It was convenient and nice to know that there is a brand without undeclared fish sauce or shrimp paste.
I got Organic Tom Yum Paste by Mekhala at Whole Foods Market. Instead of making Tom Yum soup, I used the paste to marinate the chicken breasts. After a couple of hours, I cooked them in the oven, and the chicken dish was very flavorful.
These cooking pastes are a game changer. So easy to make stir fry or fried rice or add flavor to a meal overall. Easy for weeknight dinners. I tried the tom yum flavor and my toddler liked the flavor too!
This paste really packs a punch for the small amount that you add to the recipe. I really enjoyed the tom yum and basil pastes in particular. They amplified my asian stifry dish and were not overly spicy either. I have trouble recreating thai dishes, but with this paste I was able to come pretty close to restaurant quality i crave.
We love Tom Yum at home so we do cook it once in awhile and this has been a good replacement from what we are currently using. The paste is really good savoury and tasty it gives out the umami taste and the good Tom Yum flavor.
Great product. Variable uses. Wish it came in a larger size. Definitely would recommend! Add this to your home made chicken stock and the process becomes effortless, but the taste is authentic, delicious Tom Yum.
Excellent Tom Yum Paste. I added two teaspoon of this paste to the veggie broth along with broccoli and mushrooms. The soup turned out so tasty, flavorful and yummy. I went to the store to pick up red curry paste as well.
This organic cooking paste from Mekhala are absolutely delicious and fantastic. They are easy to use with my stir fry vegetables. I just mix it in and it makes my veggies come alive.
I love the Asian flavor combinations.
I picked up the Tom Yum paste which is perfect for soup base or even as a flavor for thai inspired dishes. It has all the ingredients and flavors of the Thai Tom Yum Paste I pick up from my local Asian Market but I can pick it up in my local grocery. I used it with seafood broth I made with shrimp, baby squid, baby octopus and cilantro. It came out delicious!
So i got this after picking a recipe that i thought i would like. It was not the easiest to use and spread or cook with and does require more ingredients thati am not so familiar with. although the ingredients sound great and the idea behind it is really great being organic and empowering women and children the flavors and options were just a little too forward thinking for me.
This stuff is awesome. Cleaner, whole foods ingredients compared to other brands. It tastes like real food! I made a lovely Thai style coconut vegetable dish with some of this sauce and absolutely loved it.
Very tasty and filled with flavor i would have never thought such a small bottle can have so much flavor cant wait to try the turmeric i know it will go well with an Indian inspired meal i love this paste!
I made my own Tum Yum soup. The paste was intuitive to use. It was simple to use, store, and dispense, It was not messy to use. The taste was authentic. I would like to try the other pastes and would recommend this one without hesitation.
I loved the Tom Yum curry paste and I made a Tom Yum noodle soup with zucchini and shrimp. It was so easy to just put a few teaspoons of this paste with broth to make an incredible tasting experience. I will try the other pastes like the Red/Green/Yellow curry pastes to make chicken curry. I was very satisfied with this product.
This cooking pastes is good, using it for cooking my food is very delicious, when I use this cooking paste my food has more flavor. Really like it. Good flavor enjoyed the convenience of ready to use. I would really like if it were more readily available at other stores that I frequent. The cost was a little higher than I would like.
I had no real idea what this product really was and how to use it. I was pleasantly surprised as it is a flavor enhancer and quite good. I added it to soups (lots of different ones) and stews. Really added to the flavors.
I got the tom yum paste and made the tom yum soup recipe from Mekhala ( -thai-tom-yum-rice-noodle-soup/). With the addition of a bit of chili pepper and frozen veggies, it was such a delicious and tasty meal! SO easy to make, would purchase the tom yum paste again to make this soup
My Tom Yum Paste is a whole lotta yum. I slathered it on my protein of choice before baking roasting or grilling. A little goes a long way. The small jar will last a while.
Be adventurous and use it on anything. I tried it on my toast for a savory delight.
I was skeptic about a jarred curry paste after trying the stuff from the Asian supermarket, but the Tom Yum paste was full of great ingredients and also tasted amazing. Putting dinner on the table in under 30 minutes is so easy with these pastes.
These cooking pastes are full of flavor and take a meal from ordinary to wonderfully flavorful and delicious. I love that the pastes come with a little tag that gives you a quick and and easy meal option. There are so many great flavor profiles to choose from.
I love how Mekhala gets all of the details right. Organic? Check. Unrefined salt? Check (This is important because processed salt leeches calcium from bones). Authentic ingredients? Check. Delicious taste? Check!
I have never tried to cook anything tom yum flavor at home but have enjoyed it over the years at restaurants. While a cooking paste does not make me a restaurant level chef it has great flavor thst was definitely enjoyed.
I was curious the level of impact this paste would have in a marinade for vegetables I wanted to use for a curry. You would be surprised how far this small jar can take you in quantity of meals and potency of flavor. I was impressed it even carried a citrus depth that did not taste artificial, but instead like I hand squeezed lime juice into this marinade.
I tried the tom yum flavor thinking it would be the least spicy, lime is the first ingredient. It was still spicy, but edible. The sour flavor is there and my favorite part of the paste. It flavored the broth nicely and was just rightly seasoned. Not too salty or sour, maybe a bit spicy.
Mekhala cooking paste adds that extra zing to your dish! The Asian flavor gives your food a gourmet taste without all the fuss. You too can be a gourmet cook without all the fuss and a shelf full of ingredients. Great product, give it a try!
My family and I tried the Tom Yum cooking paste. We marinated chicken and then pan fried. It added a delicious flavor to the chicken with wonderful spices. Very delicious and convenient/easy to use to spice up any meal!
I love cooking East Asian food and often try to make the paste at home. But it is hard to achieve an authentic taste, especially with vegan recipes. This product solves the issue. The taste is yummy, authentic, and VEGAN! Love it!
I had never had Tom Yum soup before, so this was new to me. I followed the recipe, which was easy, and ended up with a delicious soup. It is different than other Asian spoups have had, and will definitely be having it in the future along with my other favorites.
I have used this Mekhala organic Tom Yum paste to make tom yum soup and a tom yum chicken marinade. As always, follow a trusted recipe that you like. The paste contains no refined sugar, gluten, nuts, seafood items or MSG. The paste is not overly spicy. Be sure to refrigerate after opening.
I like the idea of having a Tom Yum paste, but it still did not taste better or even match my local Thai. That could be because of the organic and all natural ingredients which is fine because I know it is much healthier for my family. I really was curious about the Lemongrass Turmeric but could not find at my store.
We purchased the Tom Yum container to help reduce cooki g time when making soup. We loved the product! It tasted like I just cut up and blended the spices for the soup. I almost feel like it was fresher tasting than mine!
This paste had a wonderful lime citrusy flavor with a bit of heat to it. I served with chicken and rice and it was so delicious and made a quick and nutritious meal. I will buy this again and serve for a quick healthful meal for my spouse and kids. I recommend!
I bought the Tom Yum Paste by Mekhala. The flavor from this paste is intense and made my Asian chicken and noodle bowls so yummy! It is easy to use and made with all organic ingredients. I will definitely buy more of this product.
