Method
Tear or halve the mushrooms and cut the tofu into 2cm cubes.
Bruise the lemongrass, slice the galangal, tear the lime leaves and bruise the shallots and chillies.
Bring the vegetable stock to the boil in a large saucepan and add the lemongrass, galangal, lime leaves, shallots and chillies.
Add the mushrooms and tofu and simmer for 8 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the tofu is heated through.
Stir in the light soy sauce and lime juice and taste, adjusting until the balance is hot, sour and salty.
Ladle the soup into bowls, dividing the mushrooms and tofu evenly.
Scatter over the roasted rice powder and fresh coriander and serve immediately.
