Dish #4 - Steam Tofu with Minced Meat

The beginning of another week. What's in store? I did Steam Tofu with Minced Meat for the family's dinner today. However, i am quite clumsy when its come to handling tofu. So soft & wobby. Haha... but i did it. :P

Ingredients:
- 1 box of rectangular tofu or those round tube tofu. I used the round tube ones.
- Minced meat.

Seasoning:
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar

Sauce for the tofu:
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp light soy sauce - optional since u will hv light soy sauce as part of the seasoning on ur minced meat.
- 1/2 tsp oil
- 200ml water - i tried with only 100ml the 1st time & the taste was too saltish. So 200ml shd be js right.
- corn flour - thickener

Preparation:
Season the minced meat with abv seasoning
Cut ur tofu in pieces - abt 4-6 piece if u are using the rect ones or abt 8-10 pieces if u are using the round ones. You can also just leave the tofu as it is for the rect ones.
** I am using steaming for this dish so pls get the correct type of tofu as some are nt suitable for steaming. Its indicated on the packaging. **
Spread ur minced meat on top of the tofu. If you are using the tofu as it is, spread evenly all ard.
Lay the tofu on a steaming dish & steam it on high heat till meat is cooked. Abt 5-8 mins will do.
Drain away the excess water & set aside.
Boil the sauce & thicken it with corn flour. Pour over tofu & served.

Wat ya think?
Comments given by my family members: good but a little sweet / nice tofu / sedap.
