Add the fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar (if using). Stir to combine.
Taste and adjust the flavors with additional lime juice, fish sauce, or chili as desired.
5. Serve:
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve hot with lime wedges and extra chili slices for those who like more heat.
Tips:
Customize Protein: Swap chicken with shrimp, tofu, or a mix of vegetables for a different take.
Kaffir Lime Substitute: If you can’t find kaffir lime leaves, use a little lime zest for a similar citrusy aroma.
Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid curdling the coconut milk.
