Steamed shrimp & Beancurd in Gravy

Saw this recipe in the cookery book "HomeDishes", I tried it out, look quite close. But I added some dark soya sauce to make the gravy look darker.



Ingredients

1 big soft beancurd
prawns (shelled)
1/2 tsp chopped garlic
1/2 tsp fried chopped onion (I used those ready type)

Seasoning

1/2 tsp chicken stock granules (I used those in bottle types for cooking chicken rice)
1/2 tsp light soya sauce
1/4 cup water
little pepper
litle sesame oil

Thickening

1 tsp cornflour + 2 tsp water

Method

1. Steam soft beancurd in a steamer at medium heat for approx. 10 mins. Remove and drain, place in a dish for later use.
2. Heat up wok with 1 tbsp oil, saute chopped garlic till fragrant. Bring prawns and seasoning to boil and pour in thickening. Pour over soft beancurd and sprinkle fried chopped onion on top.

Note: Instead of prawns, can fried some whitebaits till crispy and sprinkle on tofu.
