i-potluck

We attended a potluck gathering at Momo to celebrate CNY. The host cooked many auspicious food like Shanghai Nian Gao, Hao Shi Fa Cai and more. Guest brought their specialties too. XM, bought his famous sesame braised chicken wings. Frank with his special roasted Char Siew! Both were yummy! To cut it short, there were abundance of food on the table!
I too made my small contribution with the Xi Yan’s Cold Tofu Pork Floss dish inspired by NIBBLE & SCRIBBLE. Reviews were good. I tried to be creative and change a bit of the ingredients. It turned out to be good and everyone enjoyed it. A comment from Chris was simply ‘Nice!’ and XW’s was ‘YUMMY!’, I would like to thank Nibble & Scribble for that inspired dish!

And for those who are keen, this is how it is done! Taken from Nibble & Scribble's website.

Ingredients:
1 block silken tofu
1 spring onion, chopped
1 tbsp fried shallots
2 salted egg yolks, chopped
1 tsp sesame seeds, toasted
50g pork floss
50ml store bought tempura sauce

Directions:
1. Use kitchen towels to pat dry the excess liquid from tofu.
2. Place tofu in a shallow bowl and top with a both salted egg yolk and fried shallots and carefully place pork floss on top of the other two ingredients.
3. Garnish with sesame seeds and spring onions.
4. Carefully pour tempura sauce around tofu and serve.
