Finger Food Anyone?

Another dish I would like to introduce, also involves white raddish and tofu, it is easy to make, and meant to be served as finger food, or as entrees before starting on main dishes.

Ingredients: (makes 12)

1/3 White Raddish (about 100g) (finely sliced to form thin-circle slices)

100g Fried Tofu Puffs (Cut diagonally)

3 tbsp Soy Bean Paste

1 tbsp Chili Sauce

1 pc Dried Chili (seeds removed and finely chopped)

1/2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce

1/2 tbsp Sugar

Bunch of Parsley

Method:

1. Steam the sliced raddish and tofu puffs for about 10 minutes or more, or until the white raddish slices are soft and tender.

2. In a bowl, mix soy bean paste, chili sauce, dried chili, light soy sauce and sugar together, leave aside.

3. Lay the white raddish slices on a plate, preferably two slices each patch (beware of how hot the raddish is). Give each patch a teaspoon full of the mixed paste.

4. Top with parsley and a tofu puff each. Done.

Note: This is a complex taste dish, each bite of each serving should result in an intense flavour of the mixed paste, the sweetness of the raddish, and the strong scent of the parsley. The tofu is to compliment the intensity of the bean paste. You can use mint instead of Parsley.
