Qiong Shan Tofu (Steamed Egg Whites Hainan Style)

Labels: { , , }




"Qiongshan or Qiong Moutain" is situated on the northern coast of Hainan province, China. 'Tofu' here is not made from beancurd, but egg whites. Then why is it called Tofu? Because of its smooth, silky and delicate texture resembles to 'tofu'. This is one of many well-known local specials, flavourful and delicious. Before I start writing the recipe, I want to thank Amanda at Nourish for sharing this award with me. :-))

  • 5 Egg whites
  • 1/4 tsp Chicken bouillon
  • 125 ml Water
  • 1/2 tsp Salad oil
  • 3 Shelled shrimps
  • Some dried scallops
  • 20 g Cucumber
  • 1/2 tsp Cornstarch
  1. Soak the dried scallops with some water in a bowl. Microwave on high heat for 5 minutes. Rub them into thin threads after cooling down. Mix the cornstarch with scallops water.
  2. Devine, rinse and cut the shrimps into small pieces. Marinate them with a little of pepper, salt, and rice wine for 5 minutes.

  3. Mix egg whites, chicken bouillon and water. Steam for about 10-12 minutes until the mixture sets.
  4. Heat up a skillet with oil, adding in the prepared shrimps and stir-fry until cooked. Add in scallops and starch solution. Spread the sauce over the steamed egg whites.

It looks really flavorful. The shrimp gives this dish a lot of flavor and I bet the egg whites are silky!!!

It's very hard to find good simple tofu presentations like this. I go to Korea town a lot here in LA in search of tofu, but this almost makes me brave enough to try it at home. I added you to my Friends of SippitySup section. GREG

@Tuty
I was trying to check out your page, but it didn't work. "Profile Not Available
The Blogger Profile you requested cannot be displayed. Many Blogger users have not yet elected to publicly share their Profile. "
@Sweta
I ate them with some steamed rice together with other dishes. Will post white fungus recipe soon. Thanks for asking!
@Ben
I bet not.....because it's not a vegetarian dish at all, and 'tofu' here is not 'tofu'. Many Chinese dishes named after their texture or shape.
@Nora
THANK YOU! for always been there.....
