Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When scooping out the tofu center, leave the surface rough rather than smooth—this helps the pork filling adhere better and prevents separation.
  • Pre-boil or thoroughly dry the tofu before frying to reduce moisture, which shortens frying time and improves crispiness.
  • Dark soy sauce is used primarily for its deep amber color rather than saltiness, so add only a tiny amount based on visual judgment.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to impress guests with an elegant tofu dish on a special occasion.
  • Fans of the perfect harmony between soft tofu and rich, savory pork filling.
