SPICY FRIED FRESH BEANCURD STICKS [FU CHOK]

Another lovely stir fried fresh fu chok dish which I learnt from  Irene Yong after trying some of her recipes using Fu Chok aka Yuba.  This dish is a spicy version but I like it, delicious and appetising.  It is a nice dish suitable for the young and old.
As shared by Irene: "Yuba" contains a large amount of protein, together with vitamins B, C and mineral elements such as calcium, iron, zinc and copper. These are believed to help in prevention of Alzheimer's disease, lowers cholesterol and blood lipids, prevents arteriosclerosis and promotes blood, cycle and delay aging".
