a ways\u00a0 dominate your day.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 This is the time to ladle out the exotic flavours of\u00a0 Thailand and Malaysia.\u00a0 And this is the soup that borrows from these cuisines\u00a0 and fills your soup bowl with its\u00a0 spicy taste balanced with sweet and sour back notes.<\/p>\n<p>I like this recipe for its ease of preparation and the readily available ingredients. \u00a0 The only time consuming\u00a0 part of the recipe preparation is the\u00a0 julienned\u00a0 carrots.\u00a0 The recipe calls for green beans.\u00a0 When they are out of season I substitute tiny frozen green peas.\u00a0 The recipe is easily doubled.<\/p>\n<p>The coconut milk I prefer to use is AROY-D.\u00a0 I also prefer\u00a0 AROY-D red curry paste.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 These products are readily available\u00a0 in most Asian grocery stores, of in the Asian food department of major grocery stores.<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\">\n<div class=\"item ERName\">ESCAPE TO
