I need to make this ASAP. We have a cold front coming though and I could genuinely live inside a bowl of this warming, cozy soup!

In reply to Eha Carr. Wow Eha! This news is very overwhelming and stressful for all involved. Between natural disasters and covid, the world is a very fragile place. I say it can only get better from here as we are at the bottom. Stay strong, stay well and please take care dear friend.

In reply to HWC Magazine. *very wry grin^ Yes - a large part of my state just had about 8 inches a day for three days on lands where Covid restrictions have not yet allowed people to have their properties cleared after the bushfires: many are still living in caravans etc mid-winter. And the first new season bushfure reports have just started . . . a little creepy tho' in many places there is not that much to burn. For the first time in many years the dams are nearly full . . .

In reply to Eha Carr. Hiya Eha, and now floods?!? Good grief! Stay safe dear friend. So happy to hear that you are growing your own lemongrass too. One of our favorite ways to make any Thai recipe extra special. Take Care

One of my very favourite Asian soups and I want to try your recipe your way next time I make it ! OK - we may get droughts, bushfires, the Covid and now floods all in the one place in the one year . . . but we surely do not have to look for ant 'Asian' store for any of these ingredients . . . I live in the country but all are available at the nearest supermarket ! Grow my own lemongrass anyways . . . if one does not cut back, one has a forest 🙂 !! I have not usually added mushrooms and I prefer it clear, already for health reasons . . . . lovely . . .

In reply to Wholesome Cook. I feel your pain. Bird chillies are so hot, even just the smell of them being cut up sometime takes your breath away.

I was craving this last night - what a great privilege to have learn the recipe from the locals and to now be able to share the recipe! I'll be making this for sure, love my laksa hot so this should be good! PS I have once rubbed my eye after slicing birds eye chillies, it was swollen up for a day!

In reply to Rufus' Food and Spirits Guide. Thanks Greg. I'm actually shocked that any of my pictures actually even turned out as I was still overcome from chillies in the eye....

In reply to Chopinand @ ChopinandMysaucepan. Hello Chopinand and thank you! I am glad to hear that you can get all the ingredients where you live. I think there are many substitutions that can be made for people that do not have access to an Asian food market. I am glad to hear that they have Tom Yum paste in Sydney which has all of your Thai required spices in the mix. Kaffir lime Leaves is really one of the only ingredients in this dish that does not have a good substitute. It is a great warming soup. Take Care, BAM
