Method

  1. Simmer aromatics

    Bring stock to boil with lemongrass, lime leaves, galangal and chillies. Simmer 5 minutes.

    Why: Boiling releases essential oils from aromatics.

  2. Add prawns

    Add mushrooms and prawns. Cook until prawns are pink, about 3 minutes.

    Why: Prawns cook fast — don't overcook.

Chef's tip

Smash lemongrass with the back of a knife before adding — it releases more flavour.
