'Zhao Pai Tofu'

Fried Seafood Tofu (Mashed) Recipe

Back in Malaysia, the food stall operators specialising in general Chinese cuisine  (in Malaysia, they are known as "tai chow") often recommend their customers to try their Signature Tofu or commonly known as "Zhao Pai Tofu". Their Signature Tofu or "Zhao Pai Tofu" consists of soft tofu, seafood (usually fish and prawns) and some spring onions. A very popular dish for many years and one of my family's favourite.

I made this dish yesterday for dinner and my family loves it.
