Tofu is bland by itself, so it needs a good sauce which is flavorfully salty. In this dish, the salted threadfish will disintergrate into the sauce imparting that special flavor that the tofu needed.
Ingredients:
1 tbsp oil
1 piece salted threadfish (1" x 4")
1 inch knob ginger sliced
5 cloves garlic minced
300g pork belly,cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 box firm tofu - cut into 2 inch cubes
Seasoning:
½ tbsp light soy sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp dark soy sauce
5 tbsp shao xin wine
1/2 tsp pepper
100ml water
Method:
1. Heat up 1 tbsp oil, sauté salted fish until fragrant.
2. Add in ginger, garlic and pork belly and stir well
3. Add in shao xin wine, cook until it reduces then add the rest of the seasoning, stir well.
4. Simmer for 30 - 45 minutes with lid on until the meat is tender.
5. Add in tofu and simmer for another 5 minutes.
6. Turn off heat and let sit for 1/2 hour for sauce to marry into the tofu.
7. Reheat before serving.

Hi Lily!
It seems this dish is very popular =)
Just a question, is there a substitute for the salted threadfish? Also, can it be any salted fish (the ones you buy in jars) or specifically threadfish? Thank you -looks delicious!

you can use whatever salt fish available as it is more for flavor in this recipe.
the ones in the jars are good and will dissolve giving a very rich sauce
