  2. Stir in the lemongrass, curry paste, galangal (ginger) and lime leaves and continue stiring for 3-4 minutes..
  3. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes.
  4. Add the mushrooms, then turn it off for 30 minutes to an hour to let the flavors meld a bit and allow the mushrooms to soak in the flavor.
