Steamed Tofu with Minced Chicken

Steamed Tofu with Minced Chicken

It has been a long time since I ate steamed tofu or some called beancurd. I decided to try making a dish after viewing so many recipes on it. Time constraint and extreme hunger urged me to come up with a simple and fast dish.

Ingredients you need:

1. 1 packet of silken beancurd.

2. Minced Chicken (Depending on the amount you would like in your dish).

3. Fried Shallots (I bought these instead of frying them myself).

4.  Chinese Parsley

5. Old Bay Seasoning

6. Fish Sauce

7. 1 lime

Steps to cook:

1. Take the amount of minced chicken you would like to have and put them in a bowl.
    Marinate the minced chicken with some old bay seasoning and the juice from the lime.
    Leave it for about 5 to 10 minutes.

2. Put some water to boil in a wok or a rice cooker.

3. Take the beancurd and cut half through the packet. Take out half of the beancurd and
    place it on a dish. Drain any excess water.

4. Take some minced chicken and spread them on top of the beancurd. Spread the rest of
    it around the beancurd.

5. Place the prepared dish into the wok or the rice cooker. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes.

6. Take the dish out. Sprinkle some fried shallots on top of the beancurd.

7. Add a teaspoon of fish sauce.

8. Garnish with Chinese parsley.

I used only half the beancurd as I had noodles to go with the dish. One may want to fry the shallots instead of buying. As usual, make any adjustment to the dish as long as it suits your taste bud.

Happy cooking!
