Rasa Malaysia 30-minute meal is back and this time with a homey recipe that would remind everyone of your mom’s cooking.
A painless, hassle-free dish that is surprisingly (and extraordinarily) satisfactory.
Just look at the soft and smooth as silk tofu with the generous toppings of ground pork, dried shrimps, and fresh scallions…need I say more?

I substituted pork for minced chicken. Marvellous!
I hope it tastes just as good as the pictures ?
I used minced chicken by the way since i only have chicken. Still v good. Thanks very much for this yummy time-saver.
Great that you enjoyed the dish!
I hv just finished cooking it for tonight’s dinner. It really is a very good recipe snd extremely easy to make. I fried the tofu just to jazz it up this time. Next time i will just steam it.
You are torturing me…
I can eat this every day. Looks delish.
Nowadays many people use bottled oyster sauce over the tofu for convenience! :(
Chris – Great idea. The recipe will work very well with fried tofu, just remember to cut them into smaller pieces and deep fry them. Remember, photos for “User Submissions.” :P
PE – I am an OK cook and I am still learning about food photography (hopefully I will get my dream digital SLR camera soon!) so thanks for your compliment. About writing, I am really not so sure; I think that’s my weakest link, I simply can’t write. I wish someone would write this blog for me so I can just focus on cooking and taking pictures? Any volunteers??? ;)
Meiyen – yes the sauce and steamed rice…that’s one meal for me.
Anonymous – I believe Melbourne has a lot of Asian markets. You should be able to find them there.
Simcooks – sounds like a good idea.
Bayi – I know the Japanese eat a lot of cold tofu.
Tigerfish – happy cooking and I guess I will see your creation on your site?
Unkaleong – well, fly back to see your mommy then…Air Asia! ;)
