In reply to Kimberly Matthiensen. Hi, Kimberly! You could also try using fresh or dried cayenne peppers or serrano chiles if you find those are easier to locate!

I live in middle Tennessee where it’s hard to find some things such as Thai chilis, what can I use in place of them? Thank you

In reply to Ali Maffucci. You can use coconut aminos, which is a slightly healthier option :)

In reply to Cassie. Yes, you must! It's tough to find, because it's really a Chiang Mai specialty, but if you find it: ORDER IT!

This looks kind of like a delicious curry soup! I definitely have to try this the next time I visit a Thai restaurant!

In reply to KV.

Unfortunately, I don’t – it’s just SUCH a powerful taste and essential in Thai cooking. You can omit it completely and use soy sauce instead, perhaps, but it definitely won’t be the same! 🙁

In reply to Arthur in the Garden!. Chiangmai is one of my most favorite places to visit in the world. The first time my husband and I had Kai Soi, we couldn't believe the flavor and textures. Thank you making this recipe adaptable here and using zucchini noodles, no less!! Thrilled that you were able to get an authentic recipe.

Aloha. I always freeze my lemongrass (after peeling to get to the mostly white part), ginger, horseradish, jalapeño peppers and turmeric then I use a microplane to make powder. Hope this helps those with no mortar and pestle.

This recipe looks awesome! Do you have any vegetarian substitutions for the fish sauce & shrimp paste? Obviously, chicken broth can be replaced with vegetable broth. Instead of chicken, I could use tofu… Thanks so much!
