Ton Choi with pickled tofu
Let me introduce this Chinese vegetable called Ton Choi and Pickled tofu (Fermented Bean curd).
This vegetable is very popular for Chinese and cooked with pickled tofu.
Pickled tofu also called “tofu cheese” , preserved tofu, or fermented tofu, is a form of processed, preserved tofu used in Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine.
Many Asians can’t drink milk or dairy foods because lactose makes them ill. I am one of them even I love dairy food.
This recipe is good for me to get protain without dairy food and taste like cheese.
Some people does not like smell of this pickles, but once you like this, you cannot stop eating…
I have never had traditional Chinese style of cooking. My husband explained to me how this look like and taste like and I created this dish with my imagination.
Here is recipe if you would like to try.
