Here’re the hero ingredients and must be used in this recipe. It can handle bold flavors exceptionally well.
Lemongrass is an essential ingredient in Thai cuisine. It is citrusy and fresh and also has a hint of ginger. While its complex flavor profile, lemongrass works well as part of an herb medley for curry pastes. It also imparts a lemony ginger flavor to soups. The important thing is the most aromatic is the bottom half of the stalk. I use often in cooking.
Coriander is an aromatic plant. The fresh leaves of the herbs have a strong citrus flavor with a hit of grassy green. They have much use beyond their leaves, use springs to blossom and useable leaves to mince or chop.
Galangal has a cooling, refreshing aroma, use in Thai cooking and other Southeast Asian cuisines. The part of the plant that we use for cooking is actually the root. Galangal is called kha in Thai. It’s a key ingredient in our curry pastes and popular Thai soup like Tom Yum and Tom Kha.

Use fish sauce: This way you will get more flavors, adds depth and offsets sweetness as well as the saltiness you’re seeking.
Use sea salt: Adding it to offsets sweetness; tempers acidity and bitterness. Always use the best-quality salt.
Mushrooms add the wonderful depth and richness to this hearty dish. Look for mushrooms with firm fresh and no blemishes or spots. They should have a clean, earthy smell. Store them in the refrigerator covered with paper towels. Don’t clean them until before you use them. To clean, if you have a lot and are using them immediately, you can rinse them quickly under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. If they are dirty, soak them in water to remove soil and bugs. Pat dry and as soon as possible.
Shrimp is ubiquitous hot and sour Thai soup. I love using uncooked shrimps and devein. Bring to boil and simmer stock until they have just changed color, the flavor and texture is extremely good.
Egg noodles are savory and filling than other made from wheat or rice. While they have a mild egg flavor to make them shine in soup. They sold in fresh and dried. You can find fresh egg noodles in the refrigerated section of many supermarkets, or Asian markets. Their texture is a bit chewy than dried noodles, and their flavor is cleaner, making them an excellent match with hot soups. Fresh noodles cook quickly, usually in no more than 3 to 4 minutes is boiling water. Once they're in the bowl, it's worth a little preparing, but if you cannot find them, a bag of dried ramen noodles (seasoning packets discarded) will work for this recipe.
Evaporated milk is the secret that makes hot soup creamy, available from grocery stores, and you can use low-fat milk instead, it will taste just as good.
