Steamboat is a popular option for reunion dinners. This Chinese New Year, get creative and spice up your meal with a new soup base: Dancing Chef’s tom yam paste. Spicy and tantalising, this soup is bound to whet your appetite! Because Chinese New Year is coming, so I thought of cooking a bowl of fish maw tom yam soup. It is pretty convenient because you just have to pour the paste and add in your favourite ingredient.

Of course, you can add this tom yam paste into your CNY steamboat. And to pair with it, you can dip some Dancing Chef Suki Sauce. This delicious spicy dipping sauce is the exact replica of the ones you find in Thai steamboat restaurants. It is a tasty complement to steamboat favourites like seafood, meat and tofu. For an extra kick, toss in some roasted sesame and Chinese parsley!
