1 can of coconut milk
3 Keffir lime leaves (vein removed and broken to release flavors)
2 lemon grass stocks (Banged and chopped into 2 inch segments to release flavors and aroma)
4-5 Thai Basil leaves whole
few dashes of fish sauce
ground white pepper to taste
few slices of Galangal or ginger
2 garlic finely minced (of course is there any other spice!!!!)
1-2 bird chillies (seeds removed and sliced thinly-optional for your desired heat level)
1 teaspoon of green or yellow curry paste (optional)
5 fresh baby corns cut on a diagonal (substitute: canned baby corns)
handful of chinese garlic chives cut in 2 inch segments (substitute: green onions or regular chives)
