Recipe#2 - Beancurd with Dried Scallop Sauce

I had this dish that one of my chef friend created for a restaurant where he works.

You will need the following ingredient.

100 gm beancurd ( preferably silken white )
50 gm minced fish meat
20 gm black mushroom - chopped coarsely
spring onion - to taste
flour
1 no egg
seasoning
Brocolli - 150 gm

Mixed all ingredient till well mixed. Form into shape and coat with another layer of flour. Fried over medium heat till golden brown.

For the greens, just blanch in water with salt and a little oil ( optional ).

For the sauce

1 - 2 numbers of dried scallop - depending on size. Soaked for at least 2 hrs
Garlic - 1 clove - chopped finely.
Chinese Rice Wine

Sauteed the garlic and shredded dried scallop. Pour in 2 dashes of Chinese rice wine. Stir and then pour in the water use to soaked the dried scallop. Add in a little water use in soaking mushroom. Bring to a boil, add in oyster sauce, salt and white pepper. Lower heat, add a little thickening agent usually corn starch till slightly thicken. It will stick to the spoon and yet kind of runny. Check seasoning again. Pour over arranged beancurd and brocolli. Served hot.
