This dish is good for all ages and has lotz of nutrients for growing kids especially my Piggies ^ * Easy to make and one can make variant gravy to go with the tofu. Just let my creativity runs free and I ended up with this delicious and savoury tofu dish in just minutes :))

I used the same basic tofu recipe but this time round I added some chopped chinese sausages, a tsp of chicken stock powder, dash of pepper and chopped red chillies for extra flavor. I steamed it for exactly 12 minutes over low flame and this time , the tofu turned out silky smooth.

I garnished the top with some shredded carrots and roasted Japanese seaweed and poured over with hot gravy which is simple to make when ready to serve.

Gravy ingredients:

1 tbsp of oyster sauce

some dried cuttlefish - shredded type ( soaked for 2 minutes)

1 pip of garlic - chopped

a drop of black thick soy sauce * optional

Method:

Heat up the wok and add in the olive oil and garlic, saute a minute, add in the dried cuttlefish and stir fry till fragrant, add in the rest of the ingredients and when it boils, add in the thickening. Pour the gravy over the tofu when ready to serve.

Enjoy and have a nice day :)))
