Minced Pork on Tofu

My family loves eating pork and tofu. There are many ways of cooking these 2 ingredients together and one of these is to steam both together. It is a very simple dish that anyone can dish out.


Ingredients:

• 1 tube of egg tofu
• 100 g minced pork
• 1 tsp corn flour or tapioca flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp light soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp pepper

Method:

• Fill the steamer with water and turn on the fire to boil the water.

• Cut the cylindrical soft tofu into one-cm thickness.

• Arrange the tofu on a shallow plate.

• If you were to mince the pork yourself, add some fat to it. (If only lean meat is used, the steamed pork may turn out to be hard. So it is advisable to add some fat to the lean pork to be minced. Alternatively, mix the lean meat with some corn or tapioca flour.)

• Add salt, soy sauce and pepper to the minced pork and stir them so that they are mixed well.

• Shape the pork into balls, the number depending on the number of pieces of tofu.

• Put these balls of minced pork on top of the tofu & steam for about 20 minutes or until the pork is cooked.

• Garnish with spring onions before serving.
