Instructions

1. Prepare aromatic base

  • In a pot over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil.

  • Saute the sliced shiitake mushrooms until lightly golden brown.

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


2. Simmer the soup

  • Add the water to the pot and bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a very gentle simmer.

  • Add the kombu seaweed and chillies, followed by half the coconut milk.

  • Add salt, and leave to simmer gently over a very low heat for 10 minutes.


3. Finish the soup

  • Add the other mushrooms, and cook until softened.

  • Add the remaining coconut milk, and season with salt to taste if required. Do not boil!


Plate and Serve!

Add the lime juice, and serve once the soup is hot.
