What can I say? Tofu is a favourite. It is also low in cholesterol and high in protein. This stuffed tofu dish, in this case, is a way of lessening the meat on the menu, which kids won’t notice.

This is inspired by some Chinese restos I’ve been to. And so I wanted to have something like it at home.

The thought hit me when I was doing the weekly grocery, wondering how else I could have my stuffed tofu. There were four kinds in the chiller section: the small square ones, which are more dense, the big blocks, which are softer to the touch, silkier block versions and those in tube-like plastic, which are Japanese tofu. Finally, I picked the Chinese tofu, about 5 x 7 inches and 1 ½ to 2 inches thick.

This looks like a fancy dish because of some prep. However, it is economical and easy because all one must do is mix, assemble and fry.

Ingredients
 
 

  •  
    1 block Chinese tofu - cut into 6 smaller blocks
  • Pork Mince200 grams ground pork (minced pork) - lean
  • Green Onions Isolated On White1 small green onions (scallions or green shallots) - finely chopped
  • Carrot Vegetable With Leaves144 inches carrots - finely chopped
  • Parsley On White Background1 sprig parsley - finely chopped
  • Chicken Egg1 small egg
  • Wooden Bowl Of Salt1 teaspoon salt
  • Ground Black Pepper Pile, Paths, Top1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Cooking Oil¼ cup cooking oil

Instructions
 

  • Mix the meat, veggies, and leaves and set aside.
  • Carefully slice the big block into smaller blocks, about 6. Depending on the size, you can have as many as 8. These are soft— but denser than custard. Scoop out the centre of each block. I would use a teaspoon for this so as not to create a gaping hole or break the edges. Mix the excess tofu with the meat mixture and add the egg, which will serve as a binder. If you find the mixture a bit watery because of the tofu, add a teaspoon or so of flour. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Get a heaping tablespoon of the meat mixture and put it in the hole created on the tofu.
  • Thoroughly heat oil in a deep pot but ensure it is not smoking. Ensure that the stuffed tofu is submerged in the oil to ensure even cooking and that the tofu will not fall apart.
