Recipe Note
- To make the soup spicier, use 2 or 3 Thai chiles.
- Peeling Fresh Ginger Root: using the edge of a metal spoon, it's easy to scrape off the thin, papery skin of ginger root. About 1 inch or knob of root is equivalent to one Tablespoon. Wrap unused fresh ginger wrapped in dry paper towel and placed in unsealed plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
