    I buy empty teabags at the Asian market and put the chopped/bruised/sliced aromatics in them then add to the broth. It’s an easy way to remove the inedible aromatics just before serving.

    If your asian grocery imports the frozen lemongrass from Thailand, get that instead. Lemongrass in North America can't quite measure up to the real OG. Just like getting Bordier butter from France.

    I grow lemongrass every year because it's a natural mosquito repellent, it never gets big enough to harvest though, as I live in New England, and the growing season here is too short. Thankfully there are a few Asian markets within a reasonable distance for me to shop at.

    I always think about get galangal but don't know what else to do with it after making this. Ginger I've always got on hand and just add to smoothies

    I like that you cut out the part where you called makrut lime leaf by its politically incorrect name. I was only recently told that its offensive, so i know the impulse to still call it by its old name

    What’s your favorite asian market so far in Seattle? Whenever I make Thai food I end up having to go to a few different ones (Viet Wah, Lam’s, Uwajimaya usually), but we’re got able to get all of the ingredients for this dish at one store?

    Kenji's fridge and pantry are always so well stocked…I'd love an episode on stocking his fridge/pantry. What items does he always have on hand, how/when does he grocery shop, etc. I can't imagine the # of handy tips that'd come out of that!

    TY for this recipe it is right in our comfort zone for a quick refreshing meal. BTW I used to hate cilantro until I was informed I was buying cilantro that had bolted. We had to start growing it at home because the bundles at the market very often are bolted and taste very bitter. I haven't seen sawtooth at our regular market but I bet we can get it at H-Mart!!

    Do you recommend any fish sauce substitute? I can't eat fish, and fish sauce is + or – one squirt away from delicious to fishy and makes me gag. I have the same relationship with bonito flakes

    Tom Yum (+whatever protein or even just veggie) is a great alternative to the typical "chicken noodle soup" especially when sick. When I'm not feeling well I wont have much of an appetite or too tired to make a fussy thing, but this recipe is so fast and simple as long as you have the ingredients (BTW they all last a long time in fridge). The favors are wonderful and the little bit of heat is great.
