1. Heat the chicken stock in a large pan.

2. Crush together the ginger, lemon grass, lime leaves and chilli, using a pestle and mortar or food processor, and add to the stock. Stir in the mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse into the stock. Grate in some palm sugar.

3. Slice the squid tube into 1cm wide rings and add along with the tentacles and prawns to the broth. Add the bream and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, making sure that the broth is simmering.

4. Stir the coriander into the broth with the lime juice and a splash of soy sauce and a splash of fish sauce to taste.

5. Spoon the broth into a large bowl and serve.


Cook’s note if palm sugar is unavailable, use light brown sugar instead.
