Water tofu

Water tofu

Overview

She learned a side dish from the Hong Kong TVB program "Sofar Su Good". According to her memory, it was a side dish she often ate when she was a child. Her family was large and the economy was not well-off. There were seven or eight people in the family and there were not many dishes. In order to feed the family, the elders always liked to make the dish "Water Tofu" with tofu pudding. At that time, tofu pudding was quite cheap. As soon as the food was served, several brothers and sisters, some with fast hands and others with slow hands, placed a large spoonful of watery tofu on the bowl, stirred it with the rice, and the whole bowl of rice was wiped out in a short time. Now that the economy has improved a lot, I sometimes go out for a while, but I don’t always get a meal, and occasionally I eat some imported (foreign) food. But if I don’t eat for two or three days, I feel like I can’t live well, and I don’t want to cook too much, so I made a big pot of water tofu according to Aunt Su’s method. It’s hard to find authentic tofu pudding. Fortunately, there are boxed soft tofu available in the market. I feel that this dish is good for the elderly and children to eat. It contains meat and protein, and is easy to chew without suffocating the throat.
