2 SERVING

Ingredients:

1 lb Firm Tofu
5 oz Ground Pork
3 oz Shrimp, Minced
For the Marinade:
1 tbsp Ginger, Minced
1 tbsp Green Onion, Finely Chopped
1 tbsp Shaoxing Wine
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tsp Sugar
1 tsp Sesame Oil
0.25 tsp White Pepper
For the Seasoning:
1 tbsp Shaoxing Wine
0.5 tsp Sugar
0.25 tsp Five-Spice Powder
1 tsp Soy Sauce
3 stalks Green Onion
3 pieces Sliced Ginger
2 counts Star Anise
1 tbsp Water + Corn Starch slurry in 1:1 ratio

Directions:

Step 1

Cut each tofu piece into about 1.5-inch (4 cm)cubes.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, minced shrimp, and marinade ingredients. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

Step 3

In a wok, bring 2~3 cups of cooking oil to 300-350°F/150-180°C. Deep-fry tofu until golden.

Step 4

Remove from oil, and place in cold water to soften the tofu. (To keep the tofu submerge in water, you can put a plate on top to press down tofu.)

Step 5

Using a scissor cut an x opening on one side of the tofu. Stuff the tofu with pork and shrimp mixture.

Step 6

Place the stuffed tofu pieces in a plate. Then, add Shaoxing wine, salt, five-spice powder, soy sauce, ginger slices, chopped green onion, and star anises.
