  • I got to know Thai cuisine well thanks to my love of leafing through travel-agency catalogs, the kind that pepper their tour descriptions with recipes from each destination. But you don't have to travel far to taste Thai food. I start this hot and sour shrimp soup by lightly frying the chili sauce and simmering a chicken broth. Then I pour the broth into a pot—the heavier the bottom, the better—and once it comes to a boil, I turn the heat down very low. I finely chop fresh ginger, ramps, and garlic and add them to the broth, along with the finely chopped mushroom caps, the lemongrass, the fish sauce, and the whole seeded chili peppers. I let it simmer a couple more minutes on low heat, then add the shrimp, bring it back to a boil, and let it bubble for another minute. You'll know it's done when the shrimp turn from translucent to pink and firm. In the serving tureen, I garnish the soup with cilantro leaves; when I don't have any, parsley makes a perfectly good substitute.
