3 birdseye chillies, roughly chopped

1 stalk lemongrass, sliced

5cm (2 inch) piece galangal, sliced

3 makrut lime leaves, stems removed

200g (7oz) peeled and deveined prawns

80g (3oz) cherry tomatoes, halved

100g (3.5oz) mushrooms

3 stalks coriander (cilantro), leaves and stems roughly chopped

Use a mortar and pestle to lightly bruise the chillies. Set aside for later.

Place 3 cups of water, lemongrass, galangal and makrut lime leaves in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil. Then add the prawns, tomatoes and mushrooms. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 2-3 minutes or until prawns are cooked through. Remove from heat.

Stir through the bruised chillies, fish sauce, lime juice and sugar. Taste and season with extra fish sauce or lime juice to taste. The flavour should be tangy, salty and spicy.

Just before serving, stir through the coriander.
