2 tbsp light soy sauce
a dash of pepper
50 ml water
oil for frying
chilli shreds for garnishing

  1. Cut each piece of 'teochew' beancurd into 6 equal pieces
  2. Deep fry or pan fry till firm. Dish out and set aside.
  3. Pour away excess oil, leave a little to saute garlic and minced meat or dried prawns till fragrant. Add in soy sauce, water and pepper. Bring to a boil then add in fried beancurd and spring onions/chinese celery. Stir to combine and dish out on plate. Garnish with cut chilli. Serve with porridge or rice.

Note:
