Instructions
- Heat the sesame oil over medium low heat, then throw in the shallots. Allow them to soften for a minute or two, then gently stab the slices with chopsticks or a spatula to break them up. Throw in the shiitake caps, stir, and allow to soften for two minutes. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top, then stir again to combine.
- Increase the heat to medium, then throw in the chopped scallions and broth. Stir, then allow to come to a small simmer. Allow it to simmer for about two minutes, then remove it from the heat and stir in the coconut milk, lime juice and tomatoes.
- Serve immediately with a few tofu cubes thrown in if you like. Garnish with hot peppers or sriracha and cilantro, if desired.
