Hot and sour soup with chicken and tofu

I found this soup in Betty Saw's Everything Bean Curd!

I was flipping through the book at the public library and it caught my attention. Betty is considered a celebrity chef in Malaysia. She has written a few cookbooks mostly on chinese and healthy cooking.

Besides the hot and sour soup, there are many interesting tofu recipes in the book.
