Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Sauce
  • 4 tbsp hot water/low-sodium chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce if using chicken stock adjust soy accordingly
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 3/4 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
Tofu
  • 1/2 cup fish paste got mine from NTUC
  • 8 prawns cleaned and shells removed
  • 1 pack egg tofu cut into 3/4 inch rounds (8 pieces)
  • 1-2 tbsp grated carrot
  • 1/2 tbsp chopped spring onion
  • 8 peas
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

Sauce
  1. Mix all the ingredients together and set aside, make sure sugar is dissolved.
Tofu
  1. Get your steamer going on high.
  2. Mix fish paste, carrot, and spring onion together until combined.
  3. Place tofu on heat proof dish.
  4. Scoop about 1 tbsp of fish paste on each tofu. *
  5. Place prawn on each tofu and garnish with pea.
  6. Steam on high for 6 mins.
  7. Meanwhile prepare your sauce, recipe below.
  8. When tofu is done, drain the liquid in the dish. It may be difficult to pour out, I used a paper towel to absorb all the liquid.
  9. Then pour sauce over tofu, and garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

Instead of scooping the fish paste on the tofu, I placed the fish paste in a zip lock bag, snipped the end off, and piped the fish paste on top of the tofu.
