VIETNAMESE FISHERMAN'S SOUP
Posted for a request, this recipe is from 'The Best of Vietnamese & Thai Cooking' by Mai Pham. I haven't tried this recipe yet, the description in the book says it's spicy, sour and a little sweet. Prep and cook times are approximate.

Steps:
- Bring water to a boil in a medium pot.
- Using a strainer with a long handle, blanch all seafood for about 10-20 seconds (this removes impurities and keeps the chicken stock clear when you add the seafood later); set seafood aside.
- Discard water and wipe the pot dry; add the oil and heat over moderate heat; add the chili paste and garlic and allow to sizzle until fragrant, about 10 seconds.
- Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil; add the seafood, tomatoes, pineapple, onion, fish sauce, sugar, salt, tamarind and lime juice; cook until seafood is just done, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add bean sprouts and herbs; garnish with fried shallots and serve piping hot.
- Fried shallots: line a cookie sheet with paper towels and spread thinly sliced shallots on top (use about a cup of shallots); let sit for 15-20 minutes to air dry (makes the shallots crispier); heat the oil in a skillet over low heat; add the shallots and and stir them so they don't tangle; fry the shallots until golden, about 5 minutes and with a slotted spoon, remove and drain them on paper towels.
- When shallots are cool, transfer to a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and they'll keep at room temperature for 2 weeks.
