How to make it

5 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Bring the vegetable stock

    In a large pot, bring the vegetable stock to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. Add the bruised lemongrass, sliced galangal, torn kaffir lime leaves

    Add the bruised lemongrass, sliced galangal, torn kaffir lime leaves, and bruised chilies. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the broth becomes highly aromatic.

    5 min
  3. Add the mushrooms

    Add the mushrooms to the pot and continue to simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked through and tender.

    5 min
  4. Stir in the soy sauce and sugar

    Stir in the soy sauce and sugar (if using). Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

  5. Turn off the heat

    Turn off the heat. Stir in the fresh lime juice and top with fresh cilantro. Serve hot.

A little kitchen wisdom

Always add the lime juice after removing the pot from the heat to preserve its fresh, zesty flavor and prevent bitterness. Use a mix of mushrooms like oyster, straw, or shiitake for the best texture.

Make it ahead

Store & enjoy

Store in an airtight container. Note that mushrooms may soften further upon reheating. Reheat gently on the stovetop. Add a squeeze of fresh lime if the flavor has dulled.
