    Mapo Tofu with mild spicy bean paste

    October 14, 2013 /

    There is an interesting story behind Mapo Tofu , literally translated as “Pock Mark Lady’s Tofu”. The Mapo Tofu we have here in Singapore is usually very spicy, with Szechuan chili oil used so liberally you would have thought they were free. We’re not fans of chili oil, so when eating out, we always order “Hotplate Tofu” instead– deep fried egg tofu, vegetables and cracked egg covered with non-spicy brown sauce, served on a sizzling hotplate.

    Ready in 5 minutes! Tofu Block in Mushroom and Tau Cheo Gravy

    August 7, 2013 /

    So after posting the Char Kway Teow recipe two days ago, I decided to redeem myself by putting up something meatless and healthy tonight.

I know right, super lazy but very fast and still delicious! Makes 2 servings What I used: 1 block tofu (I used Fortune Silken Tofu with Omega 3) 3 dried chinese mushrooms (stems removed), soaked and sliced A handful of parsley Spring onions, sectioned 1 red chillies,…
