Method
Season the sliced fish lightly with a little of the salt and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan and fry the ginger and garlic for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the fish stock and tomatoes, bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
Add the seasoned fish slices and poach for 4 minutes until just cooked through and opaque.
Season the soup with the remaining salt and the white pepper.
Blanch the rice vermicelli in a separate pan of boiling water for 3 minutes until tender, then drain and divide between bowls.
Ladle the hot fish soup over the vermicelli, then scatter with crispy fried shallots and spring onions to serve.
