Creating a handheld seafood tofu dish might sound complex, but the process is remarkably simple. Let PasGo unveil the recipe for you!

Tofu (bean curd) is a common ingredient in home kitchens, often used in dishes like spicy fried tofu, stuffed tofu with meat, or tofu in tomato sauce. But have you ever thought of combining tofu with seafood? Probably not. Today, PasGo will guide you through making this unique and flavorful handheld seafood tofu dish.

Ingredients for making handheld seafood tofu:

Shrimp: 100g (4 – 5 pieces)

Scallops: 30g

Young tofu: 100g

Soybean pods: 100g

Mushrooms: 50g; Carrot: 1 small; Baby corn: 50g

White wine: ½ tablespoon, cornstarch: 1 small tablespoon, chili, garlic, ginger, green onions

Seasonings: salt, seasoning powder, sugar

How to make seafood tofu:

Step 1:

-Clean rock shrimp, peel, remove shrimp heads, and the black vein on the back.

-Clean baby corn, slice thinly.

-Clean various types of shiitake mushrooms, carrots, and baby corn. Peel and cut the carrot into flower shapes; remove stems from shiitake mushrooms, and cut baby corn in half.

-Clean and slice ginger. Peel and crush garlic. Wash and finely chop green onions.

Step 2:

-Cut tofu into square pieces, deep-fry until crispy. Remove tofu and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil.

-Drain excess cooking oil from the pan used to fry tofu. Reheat the pan and stir-fry carrots, ginger, and baby corn for 1 minute. Add garlic and shiitake mushrooms to the pan and stir-fry for an additional 1 minute, then turn off the heat.

-Heat a wok with a handle, add cooking oil, and sauté the green onions until fragrant. Add the scallops to the wok, stir well for about 2 minutes until the scallops are cooked and golden.

Step 3:

-Add water and ½ tablespoon of white wine to the wok, simmer on low heat until the soup thickens. Then, add the sautéed vegetables and shrimp to the wok. When the shrimp are just cooked, slowly add cornstarch to the wok, stirring well.

-Finally, add the fried tofu and shiitake mushrooms to the wok. Cover the wok and simmer on low heat for 1 minute. Season to taste, then turn off the heat and serve the dish.

The seafood-infused tofu dish delights with its enticing aroma, featuring tender and crispy tofu, infused with the rich flavors of the ocean. The crisp vegetables add a perfect crunch, fully ripened with a deep, non-fishy taste. Savor this dish while it's still hot, with the ingredients in the pot retaining their delightful sizzle.

Important Note:

To achieve a crispier texture, coat the tofu in flour before frying. This will result in a beautifully golden and crunchy exterior during frying.

For those who crave a spicy kick, consider adding ground chili to the pot or prepare a chili-infused dipping sauce.
