Steamed Tofu With Shrimp Mousse
Servings: 4
Directions
- Chop the shrimp in a food processor. Add in the remaining mousse ingredients and process till the shrimp are finely diced. Remove the shrimp mousse to a bowl and mix rapidly to incorporate air into the mix.
- Cut the block of tofu in half horizontally; cut each piece in half lengthwise, then crosswise, to make 8 equal pcs. Lay the tofu pcs side by side in a 9-inch glass pie pan or possibly other heat-proof dish. Proportionately spread shrimp mousse over each piece.
- Place a steaming rack in a wok or possibly saucepan. Add in water to just below the level of the rack and bring to a boil. Place the dish on the rack; cover and steam till the shrimp mousse turns pink, about 6 to 10 min.
- Remove the dish from the wok and carefully pour off the cooking juices. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the tofu, sprinkle with green onions and serve.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
