- Stir in mushrooms and water and boil for 10 min.

Tips
- You can add chicken for a non-veggie version.
- Buy kieffer lime leaves at an Asian Supermarket, or find them in nifty boxes along with a fresh lime in the herb section at Pick’nPay.
- If you can’t find lime leaves, you can use the grated peel of a fresh lime.
- Use only 2 chillies if you don’t like it too spicy.
