- For the soup, place the tofu blocks on a plate, place another plate on top, and weight with a jar or possibly 14 to 28-oz can. Let stand for 30 min. Water will be pressed out of the tofu as it stands; drain it off every 15 min or possibly so. Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch cubes and set aside.
- Use your fingers to squeeze and press the tamarind to dissolve it completely and to squeeze the last of the pulp off any seeds and pith. Place a sieve over a small bowl and pour the tamarind water through. Throw away any solids and set the liquid aside.
- If the okra is large, cut crosswise in half and cut off any tough tips, leaving the stems on.
- For the garnish, heat the oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the shallots and cook till well-browned, then remove from the heat and set aside.
- To make the soup, place the tamarind liquid and the 5 c. water in a large nonreactive pot. Bring to a vigorous boil, then add in the okra (if your okra is very fresh and tender, add in it later, with the tomato wedges) and pineapple.
- Boil vigorously for 3 min, then add in the bac ha, if using, the sugar, salt, and tomato wedges. Bring back to a boil, then add in the tofu cubes and soy sauce and cook for 2 min. Taste and adjust the balance of seasonings if you wish.
- This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
