This is a great complete meal dish! Easy to prepare and will surely please everybody!

Ingredients:

1/4 kilo of bean sprouts (toge)

1/4 kilo of prawns (shelled, tails and head removed)

half a block of big tofu (or three pieces of small tofu) cut in cubes

1 onion sliced

half a cup of flour

1 egg

half a glass of water

half a teaspoon of salt

cooking oil for deep frying

Procedure:

This recipe is my auntie’s version of this delicious recipe. In a bowl mix the flour, egg, salt and water. Add the bean sprouts mix well. Get your deep frying casserole and pour the cooking oil. Let it heat up well. Get a small saucer and place about two to three spoonful of your bean sprout-flour mixture. Flatten them with a back of a spoon to have a nice round shape of about 2cms thickness. Decorate the top with a prawn (if you are using small shrimps you need to put at least three pieces) and some cut tofu. Sliced this gently on your hot oil and cook both sides until golden brown. You will need to prepare a vinegar with some chopped chilis and garlic as a sauce for this recipe.

This is my auntie’s specialty!

Ingredients:

2 cups of cut sitaw (long beans)

3 cloves of garlic pounded

1 big onion sliced

3 tablespoons of soy sauce

3 tablespoons of vinegar

2 tablespoons of black beans (tausi)

half a glass of water

250 g of ground pork (optional)

one block of big tofu (tokwa)

half a glass of oil for frying

Procedure:

Start first by frying the tokwa (tofu) in a deep casserole. You should put enough cooking oil to fry the tofu easily. They need to be golden brown on both sides. About putting the tofu too early. The oil should be hot enough. Cool them off and cut them in cubes. In a separate casserole put your cooking oil. Fry your garlic and onions. Add your ground pork and your black beans. Then put the sitaw and continue stirring. Add soy sauce, vinegar and water. Cook until the sitaw are tender. Top it with fried tokwa.

Hilda — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:02:59 +0000

Ingredients:

1 block of big fresh tofu

3/4 kilo of pork

3 pieces of shallots chopped

1 thumbsize ginger minced

1/4 cup of vinegar

1 teaspoon of vinegar

3 tablespoon of soysauce (toyo)

5 pieces of hot chili pepper (siling labuyo) optional

salt, pepper

one cup of cooking oil

Procedure:

In a deep casserole pour one liter of water add your pork and add some rock salt. Cover and let it boil for about thirty minutes. With an aid of a fork check the tenderness of your pork. After forty five minutes your pork is ready. You can keep the pork broth in making some soup or for cooking noodles. Get your pork and cut them in cubes once it has completely cooled off then set it aside. In another casserole, pour your cooking oil and let it warm up. Slice your fresh tofu of about 2 centimeter thickness each and deep fry them. They should be golden brown. Better to deep fry them to avoid sticking and breaking your tofu. Cook them gently for about seven minutes each side. It will depend on how hot your pan is. Let them cool and dry in a paper towel. Once it has completely cooled off, cut them in cubes. In a bowl mix the vinegar, soysauce, chopped ginger and shallots together. Add sugar,salt and pepper to taste. Put your cut pork and tofu. Toss them well. Perfect as a side dish with a hot porridge or eat is as a pulutan.
