your spicy seafood soup tastes too good. Could you please suggest if I could use anything else in place of galangal and sweet basil leaves, as i may not get them in my local markets. Is sweet basil different from basil?

Hi Shanti and Mary-Anne,
Thank you for your comment.
"Tom Yam" is a different recipe and tastes different.
This recipe is for "Po Taek"
For tom yam you need to add chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves, mushrooms and pea eggplant.
Kind regards,
Randy
