Fish sauce, a popular ingredient in Thai cooking, adds savory, salty, and sour notes to this lusty soup. Its strong flavor is so assertive, you only need to use a little, which helps keep the sodium count down. Look for it next to the soy sauce in the international section of your grocery store. If you can't find it, there isn't really an appropriate substitute, unfortunately.
