Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Blanch the tofu in salted water before cooking to draw out internal moisture, making it firmer and less likely to break during simmering—this also improves texture and chewiness.
  • After adding tofu, avoid stirring vigorously with a spoon, as it may break apart. Instead, gently shake the pan by wrist motion or use the back of a spatula to push and mix.
  • For a more presentable presentation, place the blanched tofu on the plate first, then pour the finished thickened crab sauce on top without simmering the tofu further.
  • The green vegetables can be substituted freely with other greens such as green kale, broccoli, or asparagus.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a clean, light, and smooth tofu dish instead of spicy options like mapo tofu.
  • People looking for easily digestible, non-irritating meals suitable as late-night snacks or breakfast alternatives.
  • Home cooks wanting to create an elegant Chinese-style main dish using leftover crab sticks and a block of tofu.
