Chicprawn Tofu.

Tofu i s made by coagulating soy milk and pressing the resulting curds.
Tofu has very little flavor or smell on it's own but is versatile, you can do wonders with it.

Like the minced chicken/minced prawn (50:50) tofu which my wife made for our dinner.

The minced chicken/prawn paste is mix with finely chopped coriander leaves, carrot, sesame oil, salt and pepper to taste.
The tofu skin is brown in color but the texture inside is like a firm custard.
Dig out some of the tofu from the center.
Fill it up with the minced chicken/prawn paste.
Pin discarded prawn tail into it.
Steam for about 10 minutes and it's ready to be serve !

Before and after.


Close-up of before and after.

The dish looks fabulously good but i feel it would taste better with a pork/prawn combination.
