Thanks for sharing this easy recipe. But I would probably omit the pan-frying of fish and tofu all together.

Ching: If you use the whole fish ie grouper haddock, how do you mince the fish flesh without pan-frying? Just wonder. 😉

How abt using the frozen sutchi fillets avail at major supermkts? They cook easy and if u realli want minced fish, u can always steam the fillets first, and break it up.
Also i wld add some chinese wolfberries to spice up the colors and increase the nutritional value.

This is a nice dish of tofu. At home, instead of minced fish, my mom uses minced pork 🙂

This dish reminds me of my childhood in Shanghai. I LOVED soft tofu dishes whether it had ground pork, shrimp or fish in it or all of them! 🙂

Okay, see…this is a recipe that I would love, but would not go over well with my husband or kids. SO, it goes in the stack of “must make when nobody is home.” Looks so good.

oooo tofu! i love tofu! this looks interesting. i wouldn’t think of pairing fish meat with tofu (for fear of fishy smell) so must get really fresh fish! 🙂

Lingzie: Yes, freshness is important. Pan-frying the fish and adding chopped spring onions and coriander leaves will do the tricks too! 😉

Lee Mei (MCH): You can try to subsitute with other types of white fish. How about grouper haddock as suggested by this recipe? 😉

This is just like the way my mom cook for me last time when in hurry. Simple yet delicious. My mom use mackerel (Fish to make yong tau fu) to cook it usually. Feel more bouncy.

This will be great for the kids, although I have found lately that fish has become quite expensive to have more than once a week, especially if you want fresh fish. We can get frozen fish but it’s just not the same, always comes out “watery” and even has a smell. Is it just me?

Christine: I also noticed that price for fish is going up lately. We are still considered lucky to get fresh and reasonable fish over here. Haven’t faced your problem before. 😉

Dora: Besides pan-frying the fish, both seasonings and fresh herbs (spring onions and coriander) also helps in getting rid of the fishy smell and adding flavour to the fish too. Do give it try! 😉
