Steamed Tofu with Black Bean Paste

Now, this is something really healthy, oil-free and super nutritious!

Steamed Tofu with Minced Pork in Black Bean Paste. Preparation time: 15mins, Cook time: 15-20mins


Ingredients:

One pack of rectangular Tofu (for soup / steaming)
Minced pork (2/3 portion; season with pinch of salt, pepper, corn starch)
Fish paste (1/3 portion; optional)
Spring onion (diced)
Dried mushroom (soaked, soften & diced)
Black bean mixture (1 tsp black bean paste, 2-3 spoon soup of water, sugar to taste)





 Here's what I did:

1. Mix seasoned minced pork, fish paste, spring onion, and mushroom in a clean bowl.

2. Slice tofu (as seen on picture).

3. Starting with a first layer of tofu, follow by spreading some pork mixture, then another layer of tofu, so on and so forth, ending with a layer of pork mixture.

4. Steam on high for 15-20mins.













5. In a wok, heat up oil, pan fry leftover pork mixture (if any).

6. Pour in black bean mixture and stir till hot. Mixture should be rather watery. Add more water if desired. Taste and add more sugar if needed (to counter the saltiness of the black bean paste)

7. When steamed tofu is ready, pour hot black bean mixture over. Sprinkle with some chinese parsley and serve.
