Since young, I have been a fan of tofu. When I started learning how to cook however, tofu seems like a nightmare to handle for me. Why you ask?. It breaks up too easily and I usually end with tofu mush rather than the real dish itself.
I enjoy making this dish because 1) It is super easy, 2) The tofu remains in one piece and I don't even have to cook it if I don't want to. I usually just warm the tofu up in the microwave and then spoon the mixture over it. It's perfect the way it is and with another vegetables as a side dish, dinner is served!
Seasoned Minced Pork with Silken Tofu
1 packet of Silken Tofu350 grams pork mince
Marinate
2 tablespoons of Oyster Sauce
1/4 cup of hua teow jiu.
1-2 tablespoon of light soya
1 tablespoon of dark soya (Adjust if needed)
generous dash of pepper (or if u r like me, 5-6 dashes!)
few drops of sesame oil
2-3 stalks of spring onions chopped/diced
1 tablespoon of chopped garlic
1-2 red chili chopped
Marinate pork mince for around 10-20 mins.
Saute garlic and chili together (if u have ginger, that's even better). Add marinated pork mince. Keep frying to break up the mince. Add spring onion. Taste and season. Add around 1/4 cup of water if mixture appears too dry. Spoon over steamed or heated up silken tofu.
That looks so good, Daphne. I'm a sucker for any recipe that calls for Oyster Sauce. I wish I could get my family on board with Tofu, since I really like it. The only way I can get them to even taste it is to get the variety that comes fried. I wonder if that would work here.
ReplyDeleteI also made similar dish recently. Just love it as a simple homecooked dish. Very comforting with steamed rice.
ReplyDeleteComfort food. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this dish, comfort food for me as well.
ReplyDeleteI love tofu dish like this! I cook something similar to this once a week, I added taucheo and fermented black beans, and alternate between prawns and bitter gourd slices in addition to minced pork.
ReplyDeleteI love this tofu dish, simply delicious and easy to make too.
ReplyDeleteAmy- I am sure that will work! The texture of crisp tofu and savoury mince will go very well!
ReplyDeleteTigerfish, noobcook and Little inbox- inspired by all of you! =)
Sig and Little corner- Oh yeah!!
This is one of my favourite ways to prepare soft tofu! It's also so versatile because you can use so many topping variations! I love the addition of celery =)
