1 piece firm beancurd
1/3 cup of minced pork
2 shallots (sliced)
2 pip garlic (chopped)
1 tsp of light soy sauce
1/2 cup water (to add more if needed)
Seasoning:
Dark soy sauce
Salt (to taste)
Methods:
- Cut the beancurd into half then into slices (not too thin or else it will break into pieces).
- Mix the minced pork with 1 tsp of light soy sauce.
- In a heated wok add in 3 tbsp of cooking oil, turn the heat to medium then lay the sliced beancurd in the oil to fry. (do this in two batches)
- Once the beancurd is golden turn over the other side, repeat till all is done.
- Using the leftover oil fry the shallots and garlic till fragrant, add in the minced pork and stir well.
- Add in the fried beancurd, give it a mix then put in a bit of salt and dark soy sauce, then add water. The amount of dark soy sauce depends on the type you use, as some are darker than the others.
- Stir the dish often to ensure the beancurd is well simmered and the sauce and seasoning seeps through. Taste to get the correct seasoning.
- When the dish is cooked, off the heat, put on a serving plate.
Note: This simple home-cooked dish is one of my childhood favourite and has been pass down to my children. The sauce which seeps into the fried beancurd is so tasty!
