This is my grandma’s recipe and it is a healthly dish and easy to prepare. Most kids love it!

300g Fish paste
2 stalks Coriander leaves (20g) – use the leaves only – cut finely
2-3 stalks Spring onion (25g) – cut finely
1 tube Silken tofu
1/8 tsp Pepper
1/4 tsp Sesame oil
1/2 tbsp Oyster sauce – to be added last
Method:
- Grease the bowl with some corn oil
- Use fork to mash the fish paste in the greased bowl.
- Add in all the seasoning except oyster sauce and mix well.
- Continue to use fork to mash tofu into fish paste, mix well and add oyster sauce.
- Taste the fish paste by using finger tip, if it is not salty enough, add in about 1-2 tsp light soya sauce.
- Lastly put in coriander leaves and spring onion together into the fish paste, mix well.
- Steam for 20 mins at high fire.
note: if the fish paste is a little dry, add in 1 tbsp of water.
Hi Ann
I’ve tried cooking this dish. Honestly, I felt it didn’t look appealing. But when my husband tasted it, he loved it so much and commented that this is the kind of texture he enjoys most and my cooking has finally improved. Thanks! (‘Your Grandma’s recipe never fails!’) 🙂
Hi Wendy, So happy to hear that your husband enjoyed this dish 😀
Happy cooking!
I made this b4 using off-the-shelf fish paste (Dodo brand). The fish paste itself is quite salty so not much seasoning added except pepper and sesame oil.I also added some carrot for colouring. Next time will try your recipe. 🙂
I usually buy the fresh fish paste from the wet market (Yong Tau Fu stall) or sometime in Chinatown market where there are few stalls selling only fresh fish paste.
Umm are you you want to taste the fish paste using your finger tips? The fish paste is not cook first of all and god knows how clean our fingers are.
