What is Tom Yum? Literally, the words tom yum are derived from two Thai words: tom and yam. Tom refers to boiling process (soup, in this case). Yam refers to a kind of Lao and Thai spicy and sour salad. Thus, tom yum is a Lao and Thai hot and sour soup. Indeed, tom yum is characterised by its distinct hot and sour flavours, with fragrant herbs generously used in the broth.
