Chinese tofu recipe with mushroom and meat sauce

Video Description

This video is inspired by a fantastic tofu dish which I ordered at a local Chinese restaurant recently. It is a combination of tofu, mushrooms, minced meat, and spinach. I found that it is not only tasty but has the balance nutrition and most of all, quite easy to prepare at home. Here is my recipe after making some improvisation, which I cook tonight for dinner. The result turned out to be incredible, with the addition of Zha Cai (a Chinese preserve vegetable) with some homemade chili oil. If you don't have these items, go ahead to make the non-spicy version. It is very delicious with steamed rice, or make it less salty to become a stand-alone dish. The following is the detail steps to prepare the Chinese tofu recipe with minced meat and mushroom. ================ Get the cook's note and download the recipe here: https://tasteasianfood.com/chinese-tofu-recipe/ RECIPE Ingredients 250g tofu For the sauce 2 tbsp cooking oil 1 tsp chopped garlic 100g chicken breast meat (or pork) 1/2 tsp salt 1 tbsp (15g) diced Zha Cai 50g shimeiji mushroom (after removing stem) 1 tsp cornflour (mix with 1 tbsp water) 1.5 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tsp light soy sauce 1/4 tsp sugar 1/8 tsp ground white pepper For the spinach 80g spinach (leaves only, weight after washed and drained) 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp sugar 2 tsp cooking oil Garnish Red chili and scallion Method: Tofu: - Steam the tofu over boiling water for about five minutes.
