👨‍🍳How to cook

1
Bring 600ml water to a boil. Add bruised lemongrass, galangal, and lime leaves. Simmer 5 min.
2
Stir in tom yum paste. Add mushrooms and prawns; cook 3 min.
3
Add fish sauce, lime juice, and a splash of coconut milk for creaminess.
4
Taste: adjust with more lime (sour), fish sauce (salty), or a pinch of sugar (balance).
5
Ladle into bowls; top with chilli and coriander.

Chef's Tip

Add lime juice OFF the heat — cooking it loses the bright citrus top note.
