Overview

Everyone has more opportunities to eat big fish and meat during the Chinese New Year, so now it is better to have a tofu vegetarian dish to clear the stomach. The recipe of this dish comes from a TV series. The mother in the TV series is a very frugal person. She marinates the tofu with the leftover fish juice or gravy of the day. The tofu is marinated and then braised. It is quite delicious with rice. The author slightly changed the recipe and changed the fish juice and gravy into seasoning. Practice has proved that it works.
