Homemade Yong Tau Foo (自制酿豆腐)

Yong Tau Foo is a traditional Hakka cuisine, made of Tofu or Beancurd products stuffed with a mixture of ground meat and fish paste.

In Asia, this dish includes various kind of stuffed vegetables, such as brinjals, ladies fingers, bitter gourd, chilli etc. Some used just fish paste or minced meat as fillings, while ohers use a mixture of meat and fish.

Myriad of colourful ingredients
Pairing Yong Tau Foo with Chee Cheong Fun

There are many ways to serve this dish: dry with sweet sauce, in clear soup, curry/laksa gravy, or braised in bean sauce. They are either accompany with rice or any types of noodles for a complete meal.

Generally, Yong Tau Foo sold in Singapore has very soft fillings, I prefer firm fillings with more bite.

The fillings used here are a combination of meat and fish paste. A variety of vegetables and bean products are filled generously with tasty meat paste.

These Yong Tau Foo are a feast for the eyes and stomach!
