Everything about a Thai meal aims at a balance of flavors, and to
offset the chili level in the last two dishes you should give each
dinner a small bowl of lightly-flavored clear soup which can be
sipped to relax the palate.

In a medium saucepan, heat together the chicken stock, fish sauce
soy sauce, preserved radish and white pepper. When simmering, and
the cubes of bean curd, cook for a half a minute and then add the
pieces of spring onion. Simmer for a few a seconds, ladle into small
bowls and serve.
