Instructions

Slice the garlic, ginger and onion. Rinse and chop the lemongrass. Sauté the garlic, ginger, onion, and lemongrass in canola oil in a large pot until tender, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the chili peppers, patis, and water. Bring to a boil, then add the fish and shrimp. Add the tomatoes, green onions, basil, cilantro, and soy sauce.
