This is the Best Way to Make Tofu, No Need to Fry or Bake, Down-to-Earth and Filling, Enough to Feed a Crowd
Every year during Chinese New Year, a large bag of tofu is prepared at home, and family members love to eat it, and there are many ways to make it. Sometimes, it's just fried casually, but it's still a very delicious and down-to-earth home-cooked dish that goes well with meat and rice. Tofu can also be paired with many ingredients! It's stewed with meat together, or stewed with vermicelli, and it's the most popular dish when it's out of the pot.
Talking about eating tofu, my family still loves to stuff it. Before, we used pork, sticky rice, and chives as filling. Today, my friend didn't go out to buy meat, and luckily, he sent me a fish. I prepared a piece of fish meat and was going to make a fish meat stuffed tofu. It's particularly delicious when it's out of the pot, and the children love it. Finally, all the juice in the pot was scooped up and mixed with rice. The side dishes made together were also eaten clean. It's known that children usually only pick meat to eat, but this time, the taste is very delicious, so even the side dishes they like so much are very popular. Friends who like it try it!
Ingredients:Half a catty of tofu, 1 bowl of fresh soybeans, a piece of fish meat, half a carrot, 6 dried shiitake mushrooms, ginger 1 piece, pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, yellow wine, vegetable oil, starch, green onion, etc.
Detailed steps are as follows:
First, process the fish. I used grass carp for the fish, removed the fish bones, first sliced it thinly, then cut it into strips, then cut it into minced meat, and finally chopped it into fish meat puree. It's easier to chop the fish meat puree this way, and it's not afraid of not chopping finely. Fish meat puree added with salt continue to chop out fish collagen, this step must be very careful to chop, chop for a while, chop well, put aside for later use.
Second, prepare 6 dried shiitake mushrooms, soak in water in advance, wash clean, and squeeze out the moisture, then cut into pieces, add to the fish meat stuffing, also add a little ginger minced, then add pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, yellow wine, vegetable oil, and mix well. After mixing well, use hands to knead for about 5 minutes, so the fish meat stuffing is more delicious.
Third, prepare a sand pot, put the fresh soybeans cleaned and washed into the sand pot. The fresh soybeans I'm talking about are also the soybeans that everyone usually says, 'fresh soybeans',
Fourth, prepare half a carrot, and you can add more if you like. Peel, wash, and cut the carrot into granules, and add it to the sand pot, and add a large bowl of water, cover with lid, and boil over high heat, after boiling, turn to small fire for 10 minutes.
Fifth, while the soybeans and carrots are simmering, we prepare a little ginger shredded, add a little salt, vegetable oil, and then put the prepared fish meat stuffing into it,
Sixth, cover with lid, continue to simmer for 10 minutes, first adjust the heat to high and then turn to small fire slowly,
Seventh, at this time, we prepare a small bowl, add half a bowl of water to the bowl, add pepper, a spoonful of starch, a little soy sauce, oyster sauce, and mix well for later use,
Eighth, the fish meat stuffing is simmering, the aroma is full of the house, open the lid, pour the just-prepared sauce into it, gently stir, let the tofu absorb the flavor more,
Ninth, wait until the juice in the pot becomes thick, you can turn off the heat, sprinkle with green onion, and prepare to eat. This pot of fish meat stuffed tofu is cooked, friends who like it try it. It's nutritious and delicious, and it's super satisfying to eat. It's really delicious!
