  3. when it boils, add meat (if using shrimp add later, after mushrooms)
  4. bring to a boil again and let the boil roll until meat is cooked (if you prefer a less fatty soup, take out the foam/bubbles that float to the surface)
  5. then add about mushrooms, and just half the SimpliThai Tohm Kha Sauce; bring it to a boil once again
