Quick question! Can I make a bunch and freeze it? Lovely video!

[@MistressOfInsanity]

One of the many things I love about your channel is listening to Daddy Lau talk. I’m starting to recognize some of the words/phrases without the help of the subtitles.

[@jofoong1493]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kellysoo]

Fabulous. My family is Malaysian-Cantonese. We have a heritage of Cantonese Cooking method. Because we have a line of chefs in our midst. Your video brings back a lot of sweet and beautiful memories of them. I enjoyed everyone of them. Thank you for documenting these methods. They are gems

[@lina_my]

Hai orang Malaysia. Awak tau tak cara nak marinate tauhu.

[@kalnitez]

Malaysian is malayasian , what Chinese you talking about

[@studgrinder]

​@@kalnitez many populous parts Malaysia are a huge cross roads of many different cultures, Indian, Chinese, more traditional Malay, just to name a very few, are elements that have strong roots and enclaves in cities like Kuala Lumpur and others. When you go to a place like this, you see these cultures represented very strongly. I can't think of another place that holds different cultures together as well as Malaysia.

[@meeleetee8530]

I love how your dad cut and slice with his cleaver. It must be sharpened often. I have been watching your KZbin for sometimes now. Your is great and love to see your family grow.

[@1992kikissie]

It's a favorite among Mauritians. We have what we call "Bowl 5", you just choose whatever you want among all stuffs, all steamed: - Fish ball (the usual small round shape) - Fish long (fish ball in a long oval shape) - Stuffed tofu - Meatball (Either beef or lamb) - Boulette chouchou or Nioukyen (Chayote ball) - Siu mai, both meat and vegetarian one (Funny for the vegetarian siu mai, we just use nioukyen as filling) - Shrimp wrap There's a lot more. You can eat without broth as a 'salad' or with broth

[@beargillium2369]

That sounds amazing

[@davidsmith5319]

Amazing!!! If it wasn't for the fact that it is 23.21 here in London I would be rushing out to get the ingredients right now. Will try this next week

[@ehjo4904]

This a hakka dish which is said to replace jiaozi as they were not able to find flour to make dumping in southern China !

[@act_sion]

it is said that the rectangle shape is typical from Meizhou .

[@mabellemichelle]

Also Hakka! Stuffed tofu I think is one of our famous dishes along with the salt baked chicken.

[@9grand]

What about the rectangle shaped one ?

[@alexaez2946]

Not true, most of the south china people know how to cook this, everything hakka also wanted to claim

[@9grand]

@@alexaez2946 it is about the origin, never said that only the hakka can cook it ! No need to be italian to be able to make pizza . But it is still italian !

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

These are one of my favorite fried foods. There’s just something magical about the crispy tofu jacket and soft fish paste filling. It’s kind of messy to prepare at home, but it isn’t a difficult recipe to follow. You definitely need to dry the tofu as much as possible, along with using a deep pot to heat the oil. Otherwise you’ll get hot oil spattering everywhere and that’s dangerous. Even when I do both, I still use a splatter guard when the tofu first hits the oil. It’s a precaution. It’s a great recipe - I’ve used cod, pollock, haddock, whatever cold water fish is freshest at the fish market.

[@kitty2527]

I love Daddy Lau, listening to him giving all the nuggest on how to cook better, as a Cantonese, this is the real thing!!!! Way to go !!!!

[@stevesaturnation]

These are delicious and pretty easy to make. I had my folks over for these, some shrimp fried rice and green beans I made with a garlicky teriyaki sauce and toasted sesame seeds. Everyone loved it and they were especially pleased with the stuffed tofu which they had never had before.👍

[@amatullah_aishah]

We actually have the same stuffed tofu in Indonesia except that we put rice vermicelli, bakso, shredded carrot, lettuce and some spices. In Malaysia, we have something similar but using dry tofu but stuff with potatoes and mince meat, parsley. Im trying this Cantonese stuff tofu recipe, since tofu is my favorite protein.

[@janeneoliviere1160]

That sounds delicious as well

[@biggerthanmybody]

its called bakso tahu or bakso tahu goreng aka batagor.

[@aiko9393]

​@@janeneoliviere1160 One of my favorite street food 😊 The ones in Semarang are made with meat and sometimes are rectangular. Probably they packed better, as it's usually bought as souvenir (omiyage). The ones from Tegal are vegetarian, made only with spiced flour and starches. They call it tahu aci.

[@lennymarsidi2605]

Really glad that we found your channel, so we can really learn how to make chineese food right and yummy, after 35 years in the US mow we just open utube to cook any thing we want to cook, thank you chef.

[@rebeccafatimah5754]

This fried stuff toufo is so delicious, I tell you. I used to make it once in a while for my family. They love it so much, but it's not everyday snack😊

My mama used to cook this and she bought the raw yong tau fu. We loves it so much! Nostalgia childhood...I just eat with green vege, rice n this... just fill my day with great satisfaction🥰!

[@angooredcow157]

Mr. Lau, you are the best. Thank you.

[@AlphaFemmeXtine]

I've been waiting for this recipe for years!! I love this and have never been able to make it.

[@garrylem757]

Mom used to make these with the fermented soy beans. Yes it reminds me of my childhood. Thank you!❤

[@dreameister1212]

In Indonesia it's called Batagor (Baso Tahu Goreng) the simple translation is fried tofu meatball, made mainly from fish.

[@pamguevara9237]

This is the kind of food I grew up..Missed those days😢.. I'm glad now, I can follow this recipe..

[@BCPOMY]

Wow, this is my favorite meal when i was living in San Francisco, now in Vancouver i can't find any restaurants have it in the menu, thanks so much for sharing, i definitely will try to make it !

[@Tenshii_Artii]

Ah man, Loving this recipe! I always get excited to watch whenever you drop a new recipe! We make tofu like this in a similar way at home. Except it is not in a singular dish like this one. But we add it in our ‘Bakso’ Basically it is chicken soup with meatballs, Radish, mushroom, chicken pieces and spring onions. We add our tofu into the soup, so it is cooked within the soup, instead of being fried. Serve this stew over a bowl of rice vermicelli, sprinkle some fried shallots on top, and that’s our home-made Bakso!

[@nolanng2590]

Thank you for uploading this dish recipe. 👍👍👍

[@XwytreX]

Still remembered my grandpa making his own fishballs from scratch and smashing the fish meat with a cleaver as shown. My grandma would be annoyed as we would have to clean the mess he made everytime he smashes it 😅 Great memories!

[@neutral6941]

It looks delicious.

[@kchan7209]

Our family makes the same stuffed tofu, but we pan fry them. Glad to see another way to cook them. Will definitely try deep frying.

[@recuerdos2457]

Steaming works as well

[@XwytreX]

In Singapore, we use either fish paste or pork for the stuffing. Great video as always :)

[@user-rd8me6pv5i]

Вкусно Всё и просто в приготовлении! 👍Delicious and easy to prepare!

[@yvonnewong364]

I only use shrimp in my stuffing and pan fried the tofu. I use oyster sauce as the dipping sauce.

Laing Tofu, a popular hawker food in Singapore ! I am particularly hooked to the Hakka restaurant recipe as I believe they include finely minced pork belly into the mix.

[@jamesforbes5616]

Never, ever in my life would I have thought of stuffing tofu and then deepfrying it. Looks DEEEELICIOUS!!!!

[@asynchronicity]

I want to try this with ground or minced beef in the filling.

[@ProYada]

wondering if you can alternatively air fry it

[@karlee8608]

I just made this. Tofu need more spice. It taste so blend even though soak in salt water. Maybe the filling was too little. Great side dish or snack to chew on.😊

[@peonygalxs3]

I have seen my late aunt used a stone mortar and pestle to smash the fish

[@matanbaranes3088]

Hey, is there a traditional veggie version too?

[@christofat2704]

That is a very famous hakka dish

[@justwhistlinpixie]

I imagine you could make the filling in a food processor, too.

[@syswong1208]

I have been looking for recipes for the filling of the street food "three treasure" that you mentioned. The version in this video seems a bit too luxurious compare to how they make in street stores. I think they add some sort of flour / powder to lower the cost by increasing the volume. Can you ask your dad on how to make the "cheap street version"? I just miss that texture and taste. I don't really care how much fish or scremp is in it just want to replicate that street taste.

[@Nightfellas]

it is called "Batagor" in our country, Indonesia

[@chloeho6047]

Can I use air fryer to fry it, please? 請問可唔可以用氣炸鍋炸呀？謝謝 😅
