6 cups water
1/2 cup mixed dried mushrooms, such as porcini, shiitake, oyster, or wood ear
1 whole chicken breast (about 10 ounces)
1 carrot, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon roughly chopped jalapeno pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup firm tofu, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Juice of 1 lime (about 3 tablespoons)
1 1/2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh mint
1 1/2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh basil
1 1/2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon soy sauce

1
Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
2
Remove from heat, and add the mushrooms; let sit until softened, at least 30 minutes.
3
Strain the mushrooms through a cheesecloth-lined sieve to remove any sandy grit; discard the mushrooms.
4
Return the mushroom broth to a clean medium saucepan, and add the chicken, carrot, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, and peppercorns.
5
Bring just to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer over medium heat 20 minutes, or until the broth is reduced to about 4 cups.
6
Strain through a fine sieve back into the saucepan, reserving the broth and discarding everything but the chicken.
7
Remove the chicken meat from the bones, and shred the meat.
8
Return the chicken meat to the mushroom broth; add the sugar, tofu, lime juice, herbs, and soy sauce, and stir to combine.
9
Transfer to a covered container; refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight before serving.
