Silken Tofu with Oyster Sauce 蚝油水豆腐




Ever sang Pease Porridge Hot???
Some like it hot, some like it cold, some like it in the pot, nine days old...

Haha.. this is not going to a 9 day tofu..
It's just that some like the tofu steamed hot, some like it fridge cold.

My mom's side of family likes it cold... and to them, steaming somehow makes the tofu slightly tougher.. Well, as u can see, when u steam tofu..some of its water content is released..which explained their reason.

Silken Tofu with Oyster Sauce Recipe

1 pc Silken Tofu (or smooth tofu, around 300gm)
2 Shallots (thinly sliced)
1 Tbsp dried shrimp (chopped)
2 Tbsp oyster sauce
2 Tbsp oil
Green onions and red chili for garnish

  2. Up tp you. Steam it if u want to eat hot tofu.
    As said in the post, steaming makes it toughen a bit, as some of the waters frm the tofu will seep out from the steaming. Less water in tofu, less soft.

  3. Hi Wendy,

    How to get the tofu out of the pack without breaking it? I always have problem where the tofu breaks.

    Thanks.

  4. Shirlynn,
    Very slowly carefully :)
    Actually I used sciccors and cut down the corners vertically the slowly peel off.
    But I don't think the shops use this method cos they have to work fast, LOL.
