2. While the stock is simmering, roughly cut the oyster mushrooms.

3. Take the lemongrass stalk and galangal slices, and lightly crush them using a mortar and pestle. Set aside.
Step 4

4. Similarly, lightly crush the Thai chilli peppers to enhance their flavours.
Step 5

5. Add the chicken stock to the pot, followed by the lemongrass, galangal, and Tom Kha paste. Mix well and bring it to a boil. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes to infuse the stock with the flavours.
Step 6

6. Next, add the brown sugar, fish sauce, coconut milk, oyster mushrooms, chicken, torn lime leaves, and crushed chillies. Simmer on low heat until the chicken is fully cooked.
Step 7

7. Once ready, garnish the dish with chopped spring onion, lime juice, and remove it from the heat.
