Guangxi Zhuang Minority Steamed Stuffed Tofu (Niangdoufu)
Hakka tradition; widespread in Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces
Niang dou fu (酿豆腐) — stuffed tofu — is a Hakka and Guangxi specialty where small cubes or rounds of firm tofu have a hole scooped from their centre, filled with a minced pork and shrimp mixture, then pan-fried or braised. The stuffed tofu is then simmered in a light sauce. The technique reflects the Hakka tradition of adapting traditional wrapper-based dishes to available local ingredients.
