[@direxxion]

Cuttlefish grinded is the magic ingredient ... cool!

[@geoffreyl.2704]

Thanks for sharing! This reminds me of the YTF i ate when my late grandmother and grand aunties prepared them for our family gatherings. I guess i am now becoming the older generation and would like to take on the role to feed the young ones.

I am a Hakka and my mum is very good in making this dish. But her method is so tedious. I cooked this for my family today and they love it soooo much. Your method is so much easier and so yummy! Even my mum gives a thumbs-up for you. Thanks again.

So happy to find your video. I was looking for a recipe that's similar to my grandma's and I think yours could be it. Yong Tau Foo is one of my favourite dish from her many Hakka dishes. And you can't get it outside. My grandma is from MeiXian too. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

[@eddiensw]

nice retro soup pot...about the same way we make them in our family except once in a while we add a tiny bit of salted fish. Cheers

[@spicenpans]

+eddie eddie cool. We shall try adding Salted Fish next time. Sounds really 👍🏻

[@cassandrasoocy]

Spice N' Pans I avoid using salted fish caused it has strong smell of fishiness once the dish turn cold! Unless you are sure able to finished it in one a meal!

[@MammaPapa-ue1py]

Nice

OMG ! Never Imagine I Can find this here, was my. Mom ' s special dish Which is Too complicated to learn

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

@@spicenpans I'm a sponge for your knowledge

[@lilacfunk]

Can you please make a simplified version also assuming we bye the tong tau Foo also

[@kahchon]

Thanks for this recipe. Came out great, except the bitter gourds probably need to be pre-steamed as they take longer to cook than just by pan-frying. Oh, I also used ground dried sole fish 扁鱼粉instead of cuttlefish. Your granny would be proud her legacy is preserved.

[@borneolis6278]

So good n nice..

[@spicenpans]

Thank you so much Borneo 🙏🙏🙏🙏 hope to see you around.

Dried cuttlefish used here is the same as the ones we use in boiling soup?

Hi, may I ask why is the meat ratio to fish high? Like meat is more than fish by a lot? Thanks 😊

[@lazybumbumz]

And for the soup version of ytf, you do not fry it ya? Thanks

Hi could you please give the recipe for the spicy dipping sauce used for the yong tau foo? Thanks

What about the chilli and the sweet sauce? Could you share especially the sweet sauce?

[@spicenpans]

Hehe okie we shall try. Thank you for requesting.

[@littlefrau7715]

Can I bake instead fried?

[@spicenpans]

Good morning! Can no problem. The purpose of the pan-frying step is to secure the filling in place. Please brush some oil over the stuffed yong tau foo. Happy cooking!

[@lucybong8997]

Delicious. Can dried squick be replaced with salted fish? Tq

[@spicenpans]

Hi Lucy. Yes absolutely. 🤓🤓🤓

[@elinzihan]

The recipe looks delicious! What’s the best thing to substitute the minced pork? Beef or chicken?

Fish paste

Sorry I want to ask what is fish paste? Is it a filleted fish that has been scraped with a spoon?Thanks for sharing🙏 

[@analoualiangan2433]

hello sir can I know what is that sharpie? thanks

[@jiunyanchin3203]

whats the purpose of adding cornstarch into the YTF paste ?

[@luvjoesong]

Hi Spice and Pans, you are very detailed and I think is great for novice cookers like me :) 1) For lazy days , I can just buy fresh Yong tau foo from Cold Storage right ? Alternatively, where do you buy the fish paste fr ? 2) I saw a few receipes they use a lot of oil, your version seems much healthier , but if I really deep fry, any idea what to do with the balance oil? Alternatively, can I use airfryer and at what degrees and how long ? Thanks and sorry I wrote so much. Love from Singapore

[@spicenpans]

Hihi! Glad you like our videos :-) Yes you can definitely get ready made YTF from the supermarkets on lazy days. We totally understand what you mean cos we’re lazy most of the time 😂. You can also get fish paste from major supermarkets in Singapore. Look out for them in the open fridge section where fishballs are usually placed. If you wanna deep fry these YTF, you can opt for premium blended oil like Knife Oil. We’re using this too and we typically reuse our deep frying oil for about 3 times before discarding them. Invest in an oil pot that usually comes with a sieve to strain off any residue in the oil. However, if the oil looks ‘dirty ‘ after first use or if we used it to deep fry ingredients with stronger aroma, we usually discard them after one use. If cheaper vegetable oil like Duck brand oil is used, we don’t recommend the oil to be reused. Hope this helps 🤓

[@luvjoesong]

Spice N' Pans Morning, you guys are very nice people and take the time to explain and help. Thanks so much !

[@spicenpans]

You’re most welcome!

[@liongrose1173]

We can use mushroom, black fungus for more varieties

[@tonymoly8739]

Hi, great recipe for Hakka yong tau fu. Can I use dried sole fish ground into powder instead of the dried cuttlefish that you used?

[@spicenpans]

+Adeline Gan yes sure. That will taste yummy too. We like to use dried sole fish powder in our wantons.

[@tonymoly8739]

Spice N' Pans...thanks for sharing :)

[@spicenpans]

+Adeline Gan you’re welcome!

[@janetchong5048]

How come no sat fish? Very good n clear instructions. Thank you Mei mei

[@spicenpans]

Janet Chong Good morning Mei Mei 😃😃 my granny used to add dried cuttlefish so I just followed her recipe. You can replace dried cuttlefish with Salted Fish too 👍🏻👍🏻

[@nicwonders]

Hi Roland, if I substitute the dried cuttlefish with salted fish, would the quantity also be 50 grams?

[@spicenpans]

Hi nicewonders. Yes you can replace fried cuttlefish with the same amount of salted fish. Happy cooking!

[@nicwonders]

@@spicenpans Thanks guys!

[@nicwonders]

Hi Roland, I just did this recipe today with salted fish and it was very good. But I did soak the salted fish for few minutes, wiped dry then I Sliced up and pan fry till fragrant before chopping up very finely. Wonderful recipe.

[@kpgoh9353]

Good morning

[@kamikazeman]

what happened to the bee hoon?

[@spicenpans]

+Marc Jones 😂😂😂 we ate them! Hehe. Just kidding. Just drench the gravy over the beehoon for yummy effect otherwise they will be tasteless. Cheers!

[@alankoh8143]

I thought the hakka use dried shrimp instead of dried cuttlefish to mix with the meats?

[@spicenpans]

Hi Alan. My late grandma migrated to Singapore from China and she was from Meixian. This was her recipe. Yes some hakka also use salted fish or preserved sole fish in their recipe instead of cuttlefish. Basically you must add a pungent ingredient like salted fish or cuttlefish to make this dish unique. Hope this explains.

[@alankoh8143]

Spice N' Pans oic. I supposed the dried cuttlefish must be the authentic ingredient. 👍

[@FasyihaRusli]

Please correct the subtitles translation for English Language... It's kinda confusing for the ingredients introduction and cooking method instructions...

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

What is the last vegetable, the big green things with the cute pits? 02:05 Ah! bitter squash or melon. You push the meat mixture like a rivet :D Someone showed me how to make silky egg tofu lately... oh, wait a minute, it was you wasn't it? XD
