Tau Hu Hap
Tau Hu Hap is a delightful steamed tofu dish that hails from the vibrant culinary traditions of Southeast Asia. This dish celebrates the delicate texture of firm tofu, which serves as a canvas for a medley of flavorful toppings. Shiitake mushrooms lend their earthy umami notes, while colorful julienned carrots and fresh green onions add a crisp texture and brightness. Drizzled with a savory sauce made from soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil, this dish not only offers a feast for the eyes but also a nourishing, plant-based meal that can bring families together during special occasions and celebrations. Perfectly paired with steamed rice, Tau Hu Hap is an elegant way to introduce the richness of plant-based cuisine to your dining table.
