250g silken tofu
2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Crispy chilli condiment to serve (from Asian grocers, optional)

SWEET AND SOUR BROTH

1L Massel Liquid Stock Chicken Style
2 tbs soy sauce
2 tbs fish sauce
2 tbs tomato sauce
1 lemongrass stalk, bruised
3cm piece (15g) ginger, sliced
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1 long red chilli, halved lengthways
4 long green shallots, thinly sliced, green parts reserved to serve
1 tsp raw sugar
2 tsp sesame oil

Method

1.

For the broth, combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook for 20 minutes or until flavours infuse and broth has reduced slightly. Strain broth through a sieve or use a slotted spoon to remove and discard solids, reserving chilli. Add lime juice to the broth to taste and season with more soy sauce and sugar if required. Keep warm.
2.

Drain tofu, then slice into thick rectangles. Divide among bowls, then ladle over hot broth. Scatter with reserved green shallot and toasted sesame seeds. Add some of the sliced chilli from the broth or crispy chilli condiment, if using.
