It was before the holidays, when I had a craving for Tahu Isi. It's steamed tofu with meat inside. It was before dinner time and I couldn't really ask my husband to go to Chinatown to buy a couple of them, although I know he would. So, being a frugal mother-to-be I decided to make it myself. Good thing I had ground chicken in the fridge that day.
Here is the recipe.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups of ground chicken
2 eggs
1/2 cup of minced green onion
1 clove minced garlic
1 tsp corn starch
1 tbs flour
1 tbs oyster sauce
pinch of salt and pepper
1 package of firm tofu
Method:
- Mix ground chicken with eggs, green onion, garlic, oyster sauce, salt and pepper until well blended. Add corn starch and flour.
- Cut tofu into 1 1/2 inch x 1 inch. Slit the top but not all the way.
- Add chicken mixture into the middle of the slit
- Steam in a steamer for about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
I like to eat this with kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), sambal botol (spicy sauce) and bawang goreng (fried onion). Yeah, it's an Indonesian thing.
I totally miss your cooking. And those times spent chasing out that greedy dog and your perpetually hyper son running around the kitchen. Aw.
