"I modified this recipe from www.importfoods.com - a fabulous site for authentic Thai recipes - check it out. You can also purchase hard to find ingredients in case you don't have an Asian market near you. Please note that you MUST use an Asian canned beef stock or Asian canned vegetable stock -- the flavor will be very different if you use traditional canned broths."
