Ginger tofu sauce is one of the traditional foods that you can find quite a lot in traditional markets. But in my area, this processed tofu ginger sauce is hardly found except in the main market on certain days.

Now in my lifetime I have only tried this dish once, but my curiosity about one of the foods that is suitable for increasing energy in the body. Although the texture results are not exactly the same, the taste is almost the same.



Curious about the recipe, let's take a look at the recipe below.

Step 2


Cook on low heat until boiling, now I suggest reducing the milk so that the texture is more mushy.

Once cooked, it is marked with froth that comes to the surface of the pan while cooking.

Serving Suggestion

I added the hardened tofu flower to the bowl, then poured in enough ginger sauce. This is a very delicious dish and is best enjoyed while the ginger gravy is warm, especially during cold weather when this dish is a favorite.

Although the texture was not perfect, I will try it next time. Because honestly, the tofu is not very flavorful, the jelly and aroma are very strong so the texture is a bit hard. However, the texture when enjoyed is soft but not as soft as the original recipe. I hope you like this recipe, note that the milk composition is slightly reduced until the results are maximized.

This looks great! I'm surprised to learn that lemon stick can be roasted for more flavor.

Lemon grass is often a spicy drink in our country, especially made into soup.

We use it mainly for tea or medicine

Your dish is new to me. I am impressed tofu could be extra savory if you mixed it with ginger. That sounds healthy. 👌

Very healthy you should try it here is very popular this dish.
