Step 1 Boil water in a pot and chop lemongrass or lemon zest
To begin, add water to a pan or a medium-sized pot and bring it to a boil. On the other hand, lightly smash some lemongrass with the back of a knife or pestle and chop into 4 pieces that each easily fit in your pot. If you cannot find lemongrass, you can easily replace it with 2 tbsp of lemon zest.

Step 2 Add veggies to the pot
Chop all the vegetables in large chunks and add them to the pot along with lime leaves and galangal. Keep stirring and slightly keep mashing the tomatoes in the pan so that they mix up with the broth well.

Step 3 Add the mushrooms and bring to a boil
Add the mushrooms and as the mixture is boiling, add sugar, soy sauce and chilli paste. Give it a nice stir and let the mushrooms cook for about 2 minutes or until soft. Turn the flame off and adjust the seasoning.
