Tofu/beancurb Topped With Minced Chicken

I was dying to make this dish when I first saw the recipe at Maggi page. I love to eat tofu, especially the soft silky white one. I added some new ingredient n change some from the original recipe.

Ingredients:

1 packet of smooth tofu
Half chicken drumstick and half chicken breast meat (deboned n without skin)
1 tbsp of Preserved radish
Wild mushroom
4 cloves of garlic
2 red onion
2 tsp corn flour
Water

Marinate chicken
Salt
White and black pepper
Sesame oil

Sauce
1 soup spoon of oyster sauce
1 soup spoon of sweet dark soy sauce
1/2 soup spoon of sesame oil
7 dashes of Maggi seasoning (optional)
5 soup spoon of water

1) Minced the chicken. I love to keep some fat and minced the meat myself without using the machine. The biting texture seems to be better compared to the one minced with machine.

2) Marinate the chicken with salt, peppers and sesame oil. You should keep it in fridge for at least an hour or so.

3) The chicken bone can be used to boil soup and if you like your dish to taste better, cut the skin to biting size and deep fried it with a little bit of oil. You can use the oil from the deep fried skin to cooked later (I love to eat the deep fried skin as well, yummy with some tomato sauce).

4) Clean and cut the preserved radish into small pieces.

5) Clean and cut garlic, onion and mushroom.

9) Put in the chicken and cooked till 80% cooked. After that add in the mushroom and preserved radish. Cooked it till the smell is out (about 1 minute or two).

10) Put in the sauce and cooked it till it is heated. Do add water into it if you see it is no longer watery. Not long, mix corn flour and some water and pour it into the mixture to make it thicker. Do taste the gravy, if it is not salty enough then add some salt. As for mine, I do not need to add any.

11) Set aside the gravy or you can pour it over the steamed tofu (if you steamed it earlier).

12) Steam the tofu for 3 minutes (put the water and rack in the wok and topped with the plate of tofu.

13) Take it out and pour the gravy over it. YUMMY!!!
