Tom Yum Goong

I've loved Tom Yum soup even before I ever went to Thailand. I never realised it was so easy to make - as long as you can procure all the ingredients.

You need:
3 cups chicken stock/water
5-6 mushrooms, cut in quarters
8-10 shrimps
3 tbsp fish oil
1 inch galangal, thinly sliced
3-4 green/red chillies, crushed
5-6 Kaffir lime leaves
1 stalk lemongrass, sliced
2 tbsp lime juice
A few sprigs of coriander

Bring the water/stock to boil. Add all the ingredients (except coriander), then cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the chopped coriander and remove from heat. Serve immediately.
