Ingredients

• 200 grams White fish fillet
• 100 grams Firm tofu
• 1 whole Egg
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons White pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Spring onions

Directions

Step 1

Begin by rinsing and patting dry the white fish fillet. Cut it into small pieces.

Step 2

Place the fish pieces in a food processor and blend until they form a smooth paste.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, crumble the firm tofu and ensure there are no large chunks. Add the blended fish paste to the bowl.

Step 4

Add one whole egg to the mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Sift in the cornstarch, and then add salt, white pepper, garlic powder, and sesame oil. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Finely chop the spring onions and incorporate them into the mixture, stirring gently.

Step 7

Line a small tray or steaming dish with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the tray, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil. Place the tray inside the steamer, cover, and steam for about 15 minutes, or until the fish tofu is firm and fully cooked through.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the tray from the steamer and let it cool slightly before cutting the fish tofu into small cubes or rectangles as desired.

Step 10

Serve the fish tofu as a dish on its own, or add it to soups or hot pots for additional flavor and texture.
