Directions

1. Step

Cut the firm tofu block into 6 equal pieces. Press each piece lightly with tissue paper to remove excess moisture. Carefully cut a small hole in the center of each tofu piece. Set the removed pieces aside.

2. Step

Place the tofu pieces on tissue paper in a bowl. Lightly sprinkle them with salt and set aside.

3. Step

Finely chop the red chili and green onion. Clean the shrimps well and pat them dry with tissue paper.

4. Step

Cut the tofu pieces removed from Step 1 into small bits. In a bowl, mix the chopped tofu bits with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp chili powder, the egg, and the chopped red chili and green onion. Stir until well combined.

5. Step

Place the tofu blocks in a pot on medium-low heat. Fill the hollowed-out centers of each tofu piece with the prepared shrimp and egg mixture. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, carefully turn each tofu piece upside down with a spoon. Cover again and cook for another 5 minutes.
