All Safe, Old and Young 老少平安

There is this dish that kids love and parents love to cook for them. It is called "Safe for Old and Young 老少平安" with dace paste mixed with tofu and sometimes egg then steamed. Because there is nothing to chew and very nutritious, good for young and old, that is why the name.









It is however a little boring for grownups. I thought why not bake it and spice it up a little? Here I sautéed a little shallot and dried cured Chinese olives 欖豉 and then put it in with tofu and dace paste, salt and pepper it a little bit, mixed with an egg and then put it in a hot oven for half an hour. The result is rather like a soufflé.
