When East meets West: Creamy Tom Yum Carbonara

Tried and Tested: 9/10 (on the creamy side!)

My very own Creamy Tom Yum with Angel Hair Pasta :D
I've been exploring various ways to cook an unconventional pasta! And presenting to you the CREAMY TOM YUM PASTA! This pasta is a fusion dish which combines Thai and Italian elements, to bring about an explosive tangy and creamy flavour! The delightful combination of spiciness from the tom yum and the creamy texture is something that you have to try!!!

The Recipe: Creamy Tom Yum Pasta
Serves 5

The Ingredients:
1) 20 shelled prawns (Assuming everyone eats 4 prawns)
2) 1 packet Angel Hair pasta
3) 1 packet sour cream
4) 1 packet tom yum paste
5) 2 cups milk
6) Corn starch
7) 2.5 tablespoons butter
8) Chopped garlic

Get Cookin!

  • Pour some oil into the wok and stir fry the prawns for a short while to make it half cook. (The prawns should be orange and grey)
  • Add the butter and stir fry the chopped garlic until the garlic is browned.
  • Pour the tom yum paste in, and mix evenly.
  • Pour the milk and sour cream and let the mixture simmer under low heat. 
  • To thicken the sauce, mix corn starch in water and pour it into the tom yum sauce. You can add more corn starch if you prefer a thicker sauce.
  • Tadahh! Your creamy and spicy tomyum pasta is ready!!! (If you are unable to take the spiciness, you can add more milk) :)
This dish would satisfy your cravings for thai and western food :D Killing 2 birds with one stone heee :D Hope you will enjoy cooking this!
