Heat 5 cups of water in a medium stock pot.

Add lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves to the pot.

Add chicken bouillon and let it come to a gentle boil.

In a small pan, add cooking oil, garlic, and shallots and fry until fragrant.

Add red curry paste to the pan and fry until it turns a deep red color, about 5 minutes.

Add 1/4 can of coconut milk to the curry paste mixture, reserving the rest for later.

Once the stock comes to a simmer, add the ground pork to the pot.

Cook the pork all the way through, then turn off the heat.

Add the remaining coconut milk to the stock.

Gently pour the curry pork mixture into the stock and stir to combine.

Season the soup with palm sugar and fish sauce, adjusting to taste.

Let the soup come to a boil, then remove from heat.

Garnish the soup with shredded cabbage, bean sprouts, shredded carrots, cilantro, and mint leaves.

Add a squeeze of lime and fresh Thai chilies, if desired.

Mix all of the garnishes into the soup and enjoy.
