Braised Tofu with Prawns
Overview
I bought nearly a pound of shrimp a few days ago and used more than half of it to make steamed shrimp with rice noodles. I deliberately left some braised tofu so that the tofu could absorb the umami flavor of the shrimp, and ended up being more popular than the shrimp!

Ingredients
Steps
-
Prepare the ingredients (the tofu you bought is best soaked in water).
-
Trim off the tentacles of the prawns and use a toothpick to pick out the shrimp line at the second or third joint of the prawns.
-
Dispose of all shrimps and wash them well and set aside.
-
Cut the tofu into small pieces and prepare some garlic and ginger.
-
Heat oil in a pan, add garlic and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant.
-
Then add a bowl of water.
-
After the water boils, add the tofu and add appropriate amount of salt.
-
When the water is about half boiling, add the prawns and continue to cover the pot and simmer.
-
When simmering until one-third of the water is left, add the prepared corn starch and gravy (raw starch gravy: cornstarch, water, and soy sauce, mix well).
-
Finally, reduce the juice over high heat and season.
