  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 15 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (364 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Low carb
  • Contains: celery, pork, poultry, sesame, shellfish, soy

Ingredients

  • 100 g Tofu, firm
  • 30 g Ham, cooked
  • 200 g Chicken broth
  • 20 g Bamboo shoots, canned
  • 10 g Shrimp, raw
  • 0.5 g Salt
  • 1 g White pepper
  • 2 g Sesame oil

Method

  1. Cut the firm tofu into very thin matchsticks; this stands in for the pressed dried tofu (dougan) traditionally used, which is firmer and easier to julienne finely.
  2. Julienne the cooked ham and bamboo shoots into matchsticks the same size as the tofu.
  3. Bring the chicken broth to a simmer, add the finely chopped dried shrimp, and simmer for 5 minutes to infuse.
  4. Add the julienned tofu, ham and bamboo shoots, and simmer gently for 8-10 minutes so the tofu absorbs the broth's flavour.
  5. Season with the salt and white pepper, drizzle with the sesame oil, and serve hot.
