Part 2 of capable wifey.
The highlight of today is the steamed tofu with prawns. I got it from wokking mum. I had no carrots, mushrooms, so i added spring onions, chopped chilli & enoki mushroom strands.
As for the fishie, my mehmeh say taste a bit salty, so next time i shall follow the sauce from other recipe, not this one that i used that day (anyway the one that i used from eating china say must fry the fish but i didn't)
Steamed tofu & prawns recipe from http://wokkingmum.blogspot.com/2008/12/steam-tofu-with-prawns.html
1 block silken Tofu, sliced equally in smaller pieces
6 Prawns or depending on the no. of slices of tofu you have
1 Fresh Shitake Mushroom, sliced
1 section Carrot, about length of finger shredded
Sesame Seed Oil
Sauce:
5 tablespoon Water
1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce
3/4 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
1/2 tablespoon Cooking Wine
1 teaspoon Sugar
Cornflour Mixture (thickener)
How to do it:
- Place sliced tofu on dish.
- Remove heads and shells of prawns.
- Slit the back of prawns.
- Devien and clean.
- Place prawns with slitted back on tofu.
- Place a slice of mushroom and some shredded carrot on prawns.
- Steam for 7 minutes or till prawns are cooked.
- Pour away 2/3 the amount of liquid from steaming on the dish.
- While the tofu is steaming, prepare the sauce.
- Put all ingredients for sauce except for cornflour mixture in a saucepan.
- Cook till it bubbles.
- Gradually stir in the cornflour mixture to thicken the sauce.
- Pour sauce over the prawn and tofu.
- Drizzle on sesame seed oil.
- Serve immediately.
To make prawns to curl up like mine in the photo, cut through the prawns making sure to leave about 1.5cm from head end intact. You should see a hole in the prawn.
Stick the tail through the hole, bending on the belly side. The back of the prawns will be 'opened'.
