Stir- fried Chive flowers, Tofu and Crab sticks


Sorry to bother all with my scheduled Japan travel posts, but I am appreciate very much to those who left comment even i was away for vacation. Actually i spent quite a lot of time trying to finish this Japan travel post before i go for vacation, in fact still have 1-2 two more posts to go..hehehe..
After 7days of eating Bali foods (Babi guling, Bebek(duck), pork ribs & etc), soon i returned home, i really miss Nasi Lemak and Chinese foods..So I cooked this tofu dish, also cooked white cut chicken, stir fried green veggie and ABC soup soon i returned from Bali. This is a typical homecook Chinese dish that i like to prepare for my family.


Usually i don't add crab sticks into tofu dish, but spotted Rice Bowl Tales added crab sticks  (sorry, can't really remember in which post) , so i also cooked this way..Ya, add crab sticks only at the end of cooking, if you add in too early, the crab sticks will tend to be broken..

1 small bunch chive flowers, cut into 2” length
3 soft white tofu, cut into big cubes

20g carrot, sliced

1/2tsbp dark soy sauce
Salt to taste

3. Add in water and bring to boil. Then add in fried tofu, season with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and salt.

  19. Ya, after a holiday, we always miss homey kinda food. When we were in Bali last year, i didnt enjoy the food because most of it were fried and spicy, and i was missing all the clear, soupy and fresh vege kinda dish that we have here hahaha. I like this dish, havent cooked with chive flowers for a long time.
