In a dish, marinate fish pieces with pepper, fish sauce and sugar for 15-20 minutes. Heat the oil in a saucepan and stir-fry the garlic and shallots for about 1 minute. Add curry powder and hot sauce and cook for another minute, stirring constantly. Add the stock or water, blend well and bring to the boil.

Add the fish, tofu pieces and salt, stir very gently, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with spring onions and chillies, if using.
