    Add the stock and bring to a boil.
    Stove
  3. 3
    Add the fish sauce and sugar and stir.
    💡Fish sauce is very salty: add it a little at a time, tasting, and balance with sugar.
  4. 4
    Add the mushrooms. Turn down the heat and simmer 10 minutes.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  5. 5
    Serve in bowls, topped with the cilantro.
