How to Cook Tofu with Steamed Egg

-

 


Ingredients
  • Soft silken Tofu or any fresh tofu, cut into 3 mm or 1/10in slices 

  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 spring onion, finely sliced
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar
Instructions
  1. Carefully lay the tofu in a stepped circle around the inside of a round baking dish to allow each piece to overlap with the next. 

  2. Combine the egg, salt and 4 tablespoons of water in the mixing bowl and mix together gently. taking care to create as few bubbles as possible. Once it is smooth, add the oil to the mixture and stir it gently. Pour it carefully into the dish, covering the tofu completely. 

  3. Put the sliced spring onion in a bowl of ice cold water. It will help to give it a crunchy texture. Set it aside. 
  4. Fill a saucepan with boiling water, at least on 1/3 to halfway up the sides. Put the dish of egg and tofu carefully into a steamer basket and cover it with the lid. Place the steamer basket directly on top of the saucepan. Steam it on a medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. The texture of the egg should be similar to a panna cotta or thin, wobbly jelly and consistent across the whole surface area. If it seems a little watery in the middle, steam it for another couple of minutes. 

  5. Mix the soy sauce with the sugar untill it has fully dissolved. 

  6. Drain the spring onion and scatter it over the egg. Then pour the sweetened soy sauce on top to serve.

How to make RICE-COOKER muah chee

Being an Asian dessert, muah chee is simply a fun affair with both the old & the young where I can make it anytime at the comfort of my home.  First of all, it is suitable for vegetarians. This Asian snack contains neither pork nor lard. The recipe doesn’t require much efforts. All I need is to have a multi-functional cooker, a pack of glutinuous rice flour and ground peanut powder. It would take approximately about 45 minutes to complete, depending on the stirring cycle which has to be repeated every 3 minutes until the dough mixture forms into a ball. The only challenge I face when it comes to taking orders from my customers is when I have to wake up pretty early in the morning to add the peanut powder to the ready dough, which can take up to almost 3 hours. On the night before, I have to prepare the dough which also takes up about the same duration.   Ingredients:                                                   Camel Ground Peanut Powder
