Steam tofu with shrimp paste 蝦膠蒸豆腐

Mr.S got me an electronic steamer for Christmas and I have been wanting to use it more often to make some delicious healthy dishes.

There were wild shrimp and organic tofu on sale, so it was a perfect time to make this dish. I remember my parents used to use fish paste to make this dish, since it is hard to get the kind of fish to make fish paste, I am using shrimp instead.


Ingredients
1/2 pounds of shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons corn starch
1 tablespoons sugar
drops of oil
1 block of tofu, cut into small flat blocks
dash green onion, course chopped

Pouring sauce
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoons organic lite soy sauce


Directions
1) Put shrimp, corn starch, sugar, and oil into a small food processor and mince all the ingredients into a paste form.
2) Place tofu on a plate, then put about 1 tablespoon of shrimp paste on each small tofu blocks
3) Steam for 15 minutes. At the same time, heat olive oil in a sauce pan.
4) When tofu is done, pour hot oil on tofu. Then sprinkle soy sauce and green onion on top.
