• Remove from heat and lemon juice.
• Stir once, place in bowls and garnish with cilantro.
• (optional) pour a teaspoon of sesame chili oil on top for more kick.
• *I am lucky enough to have a kaffir tree but if you cannot find kaffir leaves use lemon leaves (meyer lemon works well) or lime zest as a last resort.
• **Cauliflower is used in the book and works wonderfully with this soup but i like to mix it up and use mushrooms, tofu, tomatoes, water chestnuts, bell peppers, and even vermicelli noodles.
