Ingredients - Serves 4
- 1 medium-sized carrot, sliced
- 1 large capsicum (any colour), cut into chunks
- 1 cup tofu, cubed
- 3 stalks lemongrass, sliced finely
- 3-4 kaffir lime leaves
- 3-4 small red chillies (adjust according to your tastes)
- 10 g galangal, chopped
- juice of 1 lime or small lemon
- 4 cups vegetable stock or water
- 1 tsp sugar
- Soy sauce, to taste
Steps
- Make a smooth paste of the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal and red chillies. Use the lime juice to make it easy to grind
- Put the spice paste along with the stock and vegetables in a large pot and bring to a boil
- Turn down the heat and add sugar, soy sauce and tofu. Simmer for about 2 minutes
- Serve hot with plain rice or even some dumplings or wontons
- Try our {Cabbage and Tofu Wontons}
Use a {mortar and pestle} if you are making small quantities. Otherwise, use a {spice mill}, {Indian mixie grinder} or {magic bullet} or something similar. Regular blenders are too large, so they will just toss the contents around instead of grinding them
