Prepare the aromatics: In a mortar and pestle, pound the Thai chilies, shallots, garlic, and lemongrass into a coarse paste.

In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the aromatic paste and stir until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

- โThe sourness of the bamboo shoots can vary; adjust seasoning accordingly.
- โFor a richer flavor, you can use chicken or pork broth instead of water.
- โIf Bai Yanang extract is unavailable, some recipes suggest using a small amount of spinach juice for color, though it won't replicate the unique flavor.
