For a richer flavor, consider using full-fat coconut milk.
If you cannot find fresh galangal, substitute with 3-4 slices of dried galangal. Rehydrate the dried galangal in hot water for 10 minutes before adding it to the broth.
Adjust the amount of red curry paste to your preference. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.
For a vegetarian version, ensure that the vegetable broth and red curry paste are vegetarian-friendly.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or Thai basil for added freshness.
