Hi ltkman thanks for the video. What kind of chiles are they? Pikri chiles? What kind of lime leaves are they? Kafir?

[ltkman]

Yes, It (phrik-khee-nuu) chilies, and Kaffir lime leaves...r u Thai?

[farleftwinger2]

I got to try this. But how long did you say you cook the whole thing? 10 or 3 min?

[ltkman]

3 minutes.

i want it! haven't eaten in 4 days! i want it!

Omg, soup accomplished!!!

Instead of kaffir leaves I plucked grapefruit leaves from my small tree in the back and they worked! I would suggest to anyone missing the leaves possibly find a neighbor who has a citrus tree or go to a plant nursery and "borrow" some.

My asian grocer also had just ground up lemon grass and frozen red chilis and it still didn't matter. The soup turned out great!

Thank you kai~ THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Sometimes this soup comes with onions and cilantro. I imagine the cilantro is thrown in last but when do the onions go in? And are they marinated?

@TheAdmiralsemmes They are Kaffir Lime Leaves, you can get them at your local Asian market.

hi kai, i watch and make your videos all the time. I assume you work as a cook and the meals you cool are probaly not like these. i go to alot of thai restaurants and they have alot more flavour and spices, more depth in taste. Can you make any videos like that? i you now what im even talking about. i really want a soup thats really spicy and has alot of depth in the taste, i dont know if you will read this and its a longshot you would have the time to explain videos like that but thanks anyway

i live in california too.... you can find stuff like this at health food stores or even go to asian grocery stores where they sell different products and produce from the orient. you can adjust it to suit your tastes of course. I have found in the times that i have made it that making it with some coconut milk and mushrooms instead of tomatoes comes out really good. Also try going to Trader Joe's you could find most if not all the ingredients there
