Tomyam with Chilli That I Harvest from Gardening

_{Special food, produced from your own garden is an extraordinary thing, making yourself more grateful.}

Hello Foodies,
It's very interesting this month, almost all of the vegetables and fruits that we planted were successfully harvested with good quality, but some still failed even though very few. Yes, as I've said before, the kale we planted was also not good in terms of quality. Kangkung has been attacked by pests and turns yellow, that's why we distribute 80% of our agricultural produce to neighbors, not for sale.

Even so, the failure of the kale planted did not stop our enthusiasm to keep trying hard in agriculture, because 90% of what we planted this month was a total success. Especially on red chilies, cayenne peppers and lettuce, it makes us very happy. In the midst of chili prices that have skyrocketed like BTC in 2021, we can enjoy red chilies for free from nature.

The weather recently has been very strange, maybe you could call it raining all the way from August to September, so the red chilies that we planted grew very well easily. Suitable for this kind of weather, chili is very delicious with soupy foods that are eaten when it rains, such as pho, noodles, ramyeon which are enjoyed in winter, with hot chili and will warm the body.

That's why, my mother in law ask to me, to cook spicy tomyam, she said it would increase my appetite. In the rainy season, we need a lot of protein that will support the body's immune system to stay healthy, that's a very good thing I thought.

Tomyam is a type of soup with lots of toppings, such as shrimp, squid, fish balls, dori fish meat and many more. With a strong sour taste in the sauce, this Thai food is very delicious. I also have the tomyam paste that hasn't expired which I bought yesterday when I was in Thailand, it's been almost 1 year and it's still very good to eat. Instead of being redundant, I made it a special dish for lunch this time.
