1 to 3 tbsp. fish sauce or to taste

optional: fresh red chillies, sliced
thai red chilli sauce

2. Add prawns for the last 5 to 10 minutes (or shredded chicken).
3. If the soup becomes too thick, add a little more broth.
4. Add fish sauce plus the ginger/galangal, and stir.

6. Serve with pepper and the remaining condiments.
