· 1 can coconut milk (400ml, full fat) + 1/2 can water

· 1 bunch pak choi and/or 200g baby spinach

Note: a number of these ingredients can be omitted and there will still be a nice flavour.

METHOD

1) Put olive oil and ghee on low-medium heat in a large non-stick sauce pan (have matching lid ready, but left off for now)

2) Add ginger and chilli for 1 minute, then add garlic cooking about 1 more minute (or less), then add leeks.

3) Cook until leeks soften (about 5 mins), then add cumin, fish sauce, lime peel, kafir lime leaf, lemon grass, and mushrooms, stewing a minute or two more.

4) Add coconut milk, fish, prawns, pak choi / spinach, and water (add more water if soup consistency is preferred over curry), then cover and cook on low heat for 10 minutes.

5) Add salt to taste, then finish with fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves to serve.
