Cooking tips
- Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the tofu so it holds its shape firmly when placed on the zucchini without collapsing.
- When hollowing out the zucchini, tilt the teaspoon slightly and carefully control depth to avoid piercing through the bottom.
- Marinating the zucchini with shrimp paste beforehand ensures the natural sweetness of zucchini blends seamlessly with the savory umami of the shrimp paste without clashing.
