Hong Kong Treats: Stuffed Tofu
The thing about Hong Kong is you can find a Starbucks on most street corners, but next to it you'll also find the most amazing speciality shops selling traditional food that has been around for hundreds of years. The local dessert houses serve up dishes like Black Sesame Soup and Tau Fu Fa (silky tofu drenched in a sweet syrup) and in Sheung Wan you can get every kind of dried seafood you can imagine- scallops, oysters, shrimp, sea urchin, you name it, they've dried it.
Ingredients
Tofu
- 250g of fresh, firm tofu
Filling
- 50g cod fillet / white fish fillet, skinless & boneless
- 100g de-shelled raw prawns
- 2 spring onions
- ¼ bunch coriander
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Corn flour
The Sauce
- 1 tsp chopped ginger
- 1 tsp chopped garlic
- 1 tbsp chopped coriander
- 1 tbsp chopped spring onion
- 1 tbsp black rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp XO sauce
- 1 tsp chilli oil (optional)
Method
One of my favourite experiences had to be the speciality tofu eateries. We headed to Causeway Bay to try a great local dish: stuffed tofu. I helped myself to a plate of warm, slightly crisped tofu, stuffed with minced seafood and washed it down with warm soya milk, flavoured with fresh ginger. It's light, but so tasty and apparently easy to make according to Jeremy.
