In fact, I’ve just bought ingredients for this dish few days ago. Have not cook it though. Will do so soon, then post, eat and be merry!

I like the tofu fresh, without steaming. One way to eat it is to wash the tofu and put it into the fridge for a short while and when the toppings are laid on top, you get a nice juxtaposition of hot and cold. I like it this way but I know many don’t.
But tofu cooked any way is everyone’s favorite! :)

Great! I have some tofu leftover from making tofu and leeks. It’s firm tofu though, but I guess that works too, if I fry them. Maybe I’d do a stir-fried tofu with the rest of your suggested ingredients! Thanks!

Fabulous idea … I guess a little similar to mapo dofu? Wish I could get better tofu here in Melbourne, but in any case, it’s a recipe that’s going on to my to-do list. Thank you.

I’m going to try this recipe, but with little changes. I’m going to fry the tofu instead of steaming… =P I prefer fried tofu….
