When my late mum was bedridden from illness, my dad cooked for the family. Although I was often away from home, I remember well some of the dishes he cooked for us, and this Steamed Tofu with Century Eggs is one of my favourite. I like this dish simply because I love any food that is made from soy beans.
This tofu dish is incredibly economical, easy and fast to prepare. Every ingredients in this dish can be estimated and you do not need to follow accordingly.
To prepare for 2-3 persons serving, You need about 70gm of fish paste and 70gm of minced pork.
Mix the pork and fish paste. Add in tofu and mash together with the pork and fish paste. Season with ground white pepper.
Add in 1 chopped century eggs and 1 finely sliced fresh chilli (deseeded). Steam for 5-8 minutes.
Garnish with roughly chopped coriander and fried shallots.

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
