Steamed stuffed bean curd with a little twist by the addition of a little toasted salted fish ! Bean curd dishes are generally easy to whip up and more especially so if you just need to steam them and top it with some savoury sauce. But with a little more effort like this dish, we get to try out something new as well so why not ?
Loved that the filling is really delicious and along with the sauce, it makes the tofu very appetizing. The salted fish can be a bonus for those who favours it but otherwise can always be eliminated as it might not be easy to find them nowadays as well. Goes along awesomely with some plain porridge or rice and for the light eaters, this should make a satisfying and hearty meal all together.
