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
