Rau Ram livens up Red Curry Fish Stew. This Asian herb is similar in flavor to cilantro that has bolted. It has a slightly peppery, aromatic, almost soapy taste.

Whisk broth, coconut milk, and curry paste together in a 4-qt. pot. Heat over high heat until boiling. Add ginger, sugar, and lime juice, then reduce heat to a simmer. Add rau ram and sprouts and cook 2 minutes.
