Recipe
Cooking tips
- Adding a small amount of cornstarch to the shrimp filling acts as an adhesive, preventing the shrimp from separating from the tofu during steaming.
- Pouring hot oil over the scallion and ginger instantly neutralizes any sharp bitterness and brings out the signature fragrant aroma typical of Chinese cuisine.
- Avoid pouring the soy sauce directly onto the tofu, as it may absorb too much and become overly salty—instead, place a thin layer on the plate and dip the tofu into it while eating.
Recommended for
- Those seeking a sophisticated, healthy Chinese-style dish with subtle yet deep flavors, not overly spicy.
- Individuals who want to experience the delightful contrast between soft tofu and springy shrimp texture.
