Steamed or Fried Tofu

For this one you need to use hard tofu. Hard enough so you can make a hole on its top, fill it in and then stand the tofu on a steamer.

How to cook them:
Make a hole on the top of the tofu with a spoon, then fill in the hole with the minced chicken base recipe. If you do not want to throw away the tofu that you dig out, just minced them and put them together with the minced chicken bas recipe. Just make sure that you season them again a bit.

When you finished filling them in, just put them in a steamer for about 30 minutes.
When they are ready then you can eat them in three different way.

One is you leave it as a steamed tofu and prepare peanut sauce (you can buy ready made from Asian groceries or make them from finely grind peanut mixed with water then seasoned. Enjoy them with tomato sauce and kecap manis (sweet soy sauce).

Two, you can still leave it as steamed tofu but eat them in a chicken soup with green vegetables. Just put them in and they are ready to eat.

Three, you can deep fry them and eat them with sweet chilli sauce or with peanut sauce, tomato sauce and sweet soy sauce.

How to freeze them:
Unfortunately tofu is not very good for making frozen food. When it comes out from a freezer, the water content inside the tofu that has been frozen started to thaw and ruins the texture of the tofu. So this one needs to be eaten straight away.
