00:00don't just fry tofu anymore put tofu into a blender and you'll instantly get a dish that's
00:05unbelievably soft creamy rich and flavorful i had never seen tofu made this way before
00:11and after trying it just once you'll want to make it again and again let's get started first
00:18prepare a block of soft tofu and gently place it into a large bowl this is the key ingredient that
00:25determines the smoothness of the dish so it's best to use soft tofu to achieve the silkiest texture
00:31possible next pour in boiling water and soak the tofu for about 10 minutes don't skip this small
00:38step the hot water helps remove some of the beanie smell while also slightly firming up the tofu
00:44enhancing its aroma and giving it a much smoother texture when cooked after soaking carefully remove
00:52the tofu and place it on a cutting board use a knife to cut the tofu into small pieces cutting
00:58it smaller before blending makes it easier for the blender to work while also helping the tofu become
01:04perfectly smooth and even next place all of the tofu into a blender crack in two eggs as well this
01:12is the secret that makes the dish much richer more fragrant and incredibly silky after steaming
01:18add about one quarter teaspoon of salt to create a light base seasoning for the tofu it's only a small
01:24amount but it makes the tofu taste much more flavorful instead of bland then pour in 100 milliliters of
01:31water this step helps the blender run more smoothly while also making the mixture much creamier and more
01:37evenly blended now turn on the blender and blend for about one to two minutes you'll see the mixture
01:43gradually become extremely smooth and silky almost like thick yogurt the more you look at it the more
01:49appetizing it becomes at this point don't steam it just yet strain the mixture through a sieve one
01:57more time this is an extremely important step if you want the steamed tofu to achieve an almost melt in
02:03your mouth texture after straining the mixture will become noticeably smoother with no graininess left at
02:10all just looking at it you can already tell how delicious the final result will be gently shake
02:17the bowl to level the surface now place the bowl into a steamer with already boiling water then cover
02:25the top of the bowl with a plate this is a very important step the plate prevents water droplets from
02:31dripping onto the surface so the steamed tofu will turn out perfectly smooth without holes or excess water
02:38cover the pot with a lid turn the heat to low and steam for about 15 to 20 minutes the
02:45slow steaming
02:46process over low heat allows the tofu and eggs to set gradually and perfectly creating a silky smooth
02:53texture with a gentle wobble almost like pudding while waiting for the tofu to finish steaming start
02:59preparing the delicious topping to go with it first take a handful of dried shiitake mushrooms and soak
03:06them in warm water the warm water helps the mushrooms expand faster become softer and releases their
03:12aroma much more intensely set them aside and wait until fully softened next prepare 70 grams of lean pork
03:20slice the meat into thin pieces if you want to save time you can also use a blender or food
03:26processor
03:27but hand chopping the meat a little will give it a better texture and richer flavor
03:32then continue chopping until very fine the smoother the meat is the softer it will become when stir
