Steamed Tofu with Minced Pork Bonito Flakes


今天过得好充实,一大早带孩子好好的在离家不远的游戏场玩了一个早上。说是孩子玩倒不如说是我也在玩,好久没这样玩了,好开心!回来后,看着好开心,连写作业也兴奋得一直笑得好大声的孩子。。。我才知道我差一点错过舍麽。当妈妈的我是不能一心二用,在兴趣和家庭中如没法兼顾时,家庭是放第一的。我的料理是为孩子和家人的快乐和健康而弄,而这里是为我自己的料理做个记录。原来,欧巴桑的快乐是这样简单!

This is a simple and easy tofu dish love by my son. The key for this dish is to place a thin layer of minced meat (in my case is pork) on top of the tofu instead of a thick one, this is crucial as the cooking time is very short. Then you will get a tender soft pork texture which encourage little one to eat ^0^





Ingredients:
70g minced pork
1/2 tbsp mirin
1/2 egg
1/2 tsp oyster sauce
1/4 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp minced ginger
1 tsp light soy sauce
1 box of soft tofu
few stalks chives, cut in small length
some bonito flakes

Method:
1. Heat the steamer.
2. Under the running water take out the tofu from its box. Place it on a steaming plate.
3. In a bowl, add minced pork, oyster sauce, minced garlic, ginger, and egg. Mix well.
4. Place the minced pork mixture on top of tofu, remember to spread the meat to thin layer, add mirin and light soy sauce. 
5. Place the steaming plate on the boiling steamer, steam for 3 mins. Off the heat and let the steaming plate sit in the steamer for another 1 min. 
6. Take out the tofu from steamer, sprinkle with bonito flakes, serve hot.
