Step 2 - Cut the lemongrass into 2 inch lengths and bruise or smash it with the base of the handle of your knife. Peel the shallots and slice the galangal. Add the lemongrass, shallots and galangal to the prawn stock. Bring back to a boil. Add lime leaves, drained straw mushroom halves, whole cherry tomatoes and chilli. Then stir in tom yum paste and nam prik pao. Once it comes to a boil turn off the heat. Add in the evaporated milk and stir. Then season with lime juice, fish sauce and sugar to taste.
