Steamed Tofu with Shrimp Mousse

Steamed Tofu with Shrimp Mousse
April, 2000

Serves 4 Prep time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 10 minutes

1 package (16 ounces) soft tofu, drained
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 green onion (including top), chopped

Shrimp Mousse:
1/4 pound raw medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon chopped cilantro
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons rice wine
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper

1. Chop the shrimp in a food processor. Add the remaining mousse ingredients and process until the shrimp are finely diced. Remove the shrimp mousse to a bowl and mix rapidly to incorporate air into the mixture.
2. Cut the block of tofu in half horizontally; cut each piece in half lengthwise, then crosswise, to make 8 equal pieces. Lay the tofu pieces side by side in a 9-inch glass pie pan or other heat-proof dish. Evenly spread shrimp mousse over each piece.
3. Place a steaming rack in a wok or saucepan. Add water to just below the level of the rack and bring to a boil. Place the dish on the rack; cover and steam until the shrimp mousse turns pink, about 6 to 10 minutes. Remove the dish from the wok and carefully pour off the cooking juices. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the tofu, sprinkle with green onions and serve.
