About
One common and refreshing dish that we always eat at home is bean curd in light soya sauce and garlic oil topped with fried shallots but I have never had bean curd made this way. This recipe is largely adapted from Chef Sam Leong's recipe except I cut down on the amount of salt and baby anchovies and I use mirin in place of the cooking wine and I use garlic oil instead of just warm oil. I served it cold instead of hot. This is so easy to make and the taste is so refreshing.
