Mekhala Organic Thai Tom Yum Asian Cooking Paste, 3.53oz

Great flavor, nice medium heat, and super easy to use. Tastes just like the picture and makes cooking fast. Very satisfied, but the price is a bit expensive.

I had ordered other asian curry/soup pastes but didn't think to read the labels and when they arrived I discovered they are made with seed oils and I just tossed them. I happened on this product and was so excited to find something that would give me the flavoring I was craving but in a healthy product. I have since gotten a bunch of these as my craving for asian/thai cuisine is almost limitless.

Loved this ! So easy to make the broth when I can’t get take out. Just wish it was a bigger jar.

This Tom Yum paste has a very clean, natural ingredient list, so you don’t need to worry about any questionable additives — that’s a big plus. I usually cook Tom Yum using a regular paste with a not-so-great ingredient list, and the flavor is much stronger in that one. With this organic paste, the taste is milder and not as intense. It’s also quite spicy. But that’s not necessarily a downside — it really depends on what you’re looking for. If you want that deep, classic restaurant-style Tom Yum flavor, you might prefer the regular paste. But if you care about quality, natural ingredients, and still want a tasty soup, this one is a very good option. I’m still deciding which one I prefer — honestly, I might just mix the two to get the best of both worlds.

ive had different brands of tom yum so I know how it does actually taste like. this is very bland and I had to use the whole small jar for one serving - which I'm sad about because I thought since it came in a small bottle, the flavor will be more intense. nope not at all!! I won't buy this again

Just my opinion but I have had better Tom Yum pastes. Others like it. It is inexpensive enough that you should just try it. Some thought it was overpriced for the volume you get but it's a decent size to try. I found it to be not that spicy. I thought the flavor was a bit bland.

Very authentic

It’s not very flavorful. I use Tom Yum paste frequently to make a cup of broth for an afternoon snack. My usual brand from the Asian grocery store takes about a teaspoon for a nice cup of broth. I had to use 2 full tablespoons of this in 8 oz of water to get the same flavor. At more than quadruple the price, it’s not worth it. Also, the lack of shrimp flavoring makes this really bland. My fault for not noticing it was vegan. It honestly tastes more like curry than Tom Yum.

Love it! Works great in stir-fries and soups. None of that icky aftertaste you get from dubious additives. Spice level is very friendly.

Made a reasonable tasting soup.. but not really tom yum.

Great little bottle to keep in your pantry. Makes a last-minute tomyum seafood in a jiffy. Nice curry-ish flavour, not very sour. Good balance.

very tiny jar
