Ingredients:


3 medium dried Chinese mushrooms

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

3/4 cup shrimp -- shelled, deveined

1 medium red chile -- finely sliced

1 medium green chile -- finely sliced

1/2 teaspoon lemon rind -- cut in slivers

2 medium green onions -- sliced

2 cups fish stock

1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon light soy sauce

2 ounces white fish filets

1 piece fresh bean curd -- diced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

1 teaspoon salt and pepper

1 teaspoon coriander (opt)--finely chopped
 

Preparation / Directions:


Soak the mushrooms in enough hot water to cover for 20 minutes, or until completely reconstituted. Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan, and add the shrimp, chilis, lemon rind and green onions. Stir-fry quickly for 1 minute. Add the stock, worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. Bring this mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Season to taste. Remove the hard stalks from the mushrooms and discard them. Slice the caps very finely. Cut the whitefish fillets into small dice, and add them to the soup, together with the bean curd and Chinese mushrooms. Simmer for another 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and sesame seeds. Adjust the seasoning and serve sprinkled with chopped fresh coriander leaves, if desired.
