INSTRUCTIONS

LEMONGRASS NOTE Take a section from the middle of the stalk.  Drain the
tofu, then dice it into 1/2-inch cubes. Heat 2 tablespoons  oil in a
medium skillet, add the shallots, and cook over medium heat  until
lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Season with a few pinches  salt,
then add half the cilantro. Remove from the heat and set aside.  Heat a
wok, add the remaining oil, and swirl it around the sides.  When hot,
add the ginger, lemongrass, and jalapeno. Stir fry for  about 30
seconds, add the coconut milk mixture and galangal and bring  to a
boil. Lower the heat, add the tofu, and simmer gently until  heated
through and the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Add the  soy,
season with plenty of pepper, then add the shallots and  remaining
cilantro. Serve garnished with the cilantro sprigs.  NOTES : Spicy
Sweet Vietnamese sauce is delicious with tofu (or with  tempeh).  Serve
with rice or noodles.  Recipe by: Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by
