Steamed Tofu With Minced Chicken
I’ll always make this Steamed Tofu With Minced Chicken Meat in my house, either it for lunch or dinner; my family always enjoy it. I had tried with ground pork before, but I’ll always go back to use chicken meat for this. It just tastes better, I think.
And another trick I used is by pouring all the meat and sauce around the tofu in a bowl and make sure the tofu sink in the sauce. It will keep the tofu warm for a long time. Don’t forget to enjoy with fluffy warm rice.
So, I hope you will enjoy making this and let me know if you do.
Happy Cooking!
