Sweat for 10 - 15 min or possibly till you breath in the aromatics. The chili can be caught at the back of your throat leaving a little burning sensation. Pour cool water over and add in the cilantro & basil stems, palm sugar, fish sauce and lime juice. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and strain.
  2. Garnish:Finish soup by reheating it over medium heat. Add in seafood, and coconut lowfat milk (shake can well to emulsify, this will ensure it does not split). Don't allow soup to boil. Season with salt and a little more lime juice. Add in garnish to bowl and pour soup over. Drizzle cilantro oil around and serve immediately.
