Lime
青檸
A small green citrus, juicier and sharper than a lemon and more fragrant. It gives tom yum its sourness, and always goes in after the heat is off; boiled for long it turns bitter.
Cautions: read first
- The juice stings if it gets in your eyes; squeeze with the cut side down.
Preparation
Roll it on the bench before cutting to get more juice; squeeze it into the broth after the heat is off.
