Hakka Yong Tofu + Stuffed Shiitake Mushrooms

Hakka Yong Tofu + Stuffed Shiitake Mushrooms

Overview

It’s been a long time since I’ve had Yong Tau Foo, and I’m craving it. Because my husband’s family is Hakka, I often eat Hakka Yong Tau Foo. After eating it once, I was able to make it myself, but my skill was naturally not as high as that of an authentic Hakka. Haha. . . . . . Stuffed shiitake mushrooms are not a Hakka dish. You can see them for sale everywhere in my market, so I naturally make them after seeing them. This time I mixed the two stuffed vegetables together and it tasted pretty good. You might as well give it a try.

  6. Use a small spoon to make a small hole in the middle of the cut tofu and stuff it into it. (Be careful not to use too much, as it will easily damage the tofu.) First put a little oil into the pot, put the bottom of the tofu toward the bottom of the pot, and fry over medium-low heat until golden brown, then turn off the heat and let cool.

  11. After frying, you can place some cabbage leaves on the bottom of the casserole and add the tofu and mushrooms. Add a little bit of salted water and garlic, cover and cook for about 10 minutes. If you can't finish it, boil it and keep it for later meals.
