Ingredients
1Tbsp soy sauce, 1Tbsp tao jiew (fermented soy bean paste), 1.5Tbsp Chinese cooking wine, 1.5tsp brown sugar, 1clove garlic, 0.25tsp ground white pepper, 300g soft tofu, 4slices ginger, julienned, 0.25small bell pepper, 0.33of a carrot carrot, julienned, 5mushrooms fresh shiitake mushrooms, 1Tbsp cooking oil, 2stalks green onions, 2servings jasmine rice
Instructions
1. Combine soy sauce, tao jiew (fermented soy bean paste), Chinese cooking wine, brown sugar, grated garlic, and ground white pepper in a bowl. Stir well to combine.
2. Carefully remove the soft tofu from its packaging. Pour off any excess water. Run a sharp knife along the sides of the container to loosen the tofu, then gently invert it onto a deep, heat-resistant plate.
3. Spread julienned ginger evenly over the top of the tofu.
4. Heat a wok with a little cooking oil. Sear the sliced shiitake mushrooms until they are browned. The mushrooms will absorb the oil like a sponge. Spread them out to ensure even browning. If they curl up, press them down with a spatula.
5. Add the julienned bell pepper and carrots to the wok with the mushrooms. Add a small splash of the prepared sauce to season the vegetables. Cook until the vegetables are wilted and the mushrooms look translucent.
6. Turn off the heat. Add a pinch of sliced green onions to the wok and give it a quick stir.
7. Preheat a steamer with water on a rolling boil. Pour the remaining sauce over the tofu, ensuring the ginger acts as a trap to keep the sauce on top.
8. Carefully place the plate of tofu into the steamer. Cover and steam for 7-10 minutes, or until the tofu is heated through.
9. Remove the lid from the steamer. Carefully place the sautéed vegetables from the wok on top and around the steamed tofu.
10. Pile the remaining green onions on top of the vegetables. Close the steamer with the heat off for about 30 seconds to wilt the green onions and distribute their flavor.
11. Serve the steamed tofu "deluxe" immediately with hot jasmine rice. Enjoy!
