1. 1

   Rinse the mushrooms, put them in a small saucepan and cover with water.

   Rinse.

5. 5

   Once again, cover the mushrooms and bring them to a boil, covered.

6. 6

   Let sit 1 hour.

7. 7

   Then drain, remove tough stems, squeeze out excess water and slice or cut in half.

8. 8

   Bring the stock to a boil in a large saucepan on high heat, add the ginger and lime slices and cook for 2-3 minutes.

9. 9

   Lower the heat and add the lime and lemon juice, soy sauce and chilies.

10. 10

    Simmer for 5 minutes.

11. 11

    Add tofu and mushrooms and simmer 5 more minutes.

12. 12

    Taste to check the balance of hot, sour and salt -- none should overwhelm the other -- and add more chilies, lime juice or soya sauce as needed.

    Keeps a few days refrigerated but it is best served fresh.
