Stuffed Soy Bean Cake Recipe

(Tauhu Sod Sai)

Ingredients : Makes 12

Oil for frying
125 g (4 oz) minced pork
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander leaves
2 teaspoons fish sauce
12 cubes fried bean curd

Heat 1 tablespoon oil and fry pork with garlic, salt and pepper until well cooked. Add coriander leaves and fish sauce and mix. Make a small hole in each of the squares of bean curd (the end of a chopstick is useful for this) and stuff some of the pork mixture into the opening. Heat enough oil to deep fry the bean curd and just before serving re-fry the stuffed bean cakes briefly. Drain on absorbent paper and serve with garlic and vinegar sauce.
