  1. Hi Rose,

    I tried to cook this dish but i failed miserably.After i steam the tofu mixture, it was wobbly.Hence it was difficult to cut them into strips and coat them in flour and deep fry it.

  2. Do not despair! You won’t get a wobbly tofu cake again.
    I used 400g of firm tofu and drained it before smashing. I also add a tbsp or two of cornflour if the mixture is too soft so that the tofu will set nicely. Dip the tofu strips in beaten egg so that the flour will adhere to it.

  4. Better to steam your tofu in a shallow tray lined with foil or plastic. Easier to remove for cutting.
    Hope you’ll be successful this time.
    God Bless!

  6. If you do not want whitish specks on your tofu after frying, make sure the coated tofu is wet.
    All the best!

    hard after frying , can I know how long it take
