1/4 cup Vegetable oil
1 tsp. red chile powder, (Prik Ki Nu)

Recipe



Pound the ginger, garlic and lemon grass (the fat, bulbous,

Add the tofu, and cook for an additional 2 minutes, coating the tofu pieces with the spiced oil. Remove from heat. Whisk the rice flour into 2 quarts of water. Gently boil until the mixture thickens, adding additional flour if necessary. Add all the other ingredients, except for the tofu and garnishes, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add the tofu and simmer until the onions are tender, about 5 more minutes. Serve the condiments on the side.
