My special Taucu"Yuen Chun'
Yeung Tau Foo with Sweet Bean Paste
Pan fried until cooked and almost burn!!
Today,I decide to have Yeung Tau Foo with Mishu for dinner.I bought ready premix fish paste from Asian Food Market in Chinatown.I afraid the mix fish paste going bad since it been 3 days sitting in my fridge.Usually I bought premix fish paste to stuff bean curd paper and fresh red long pepper.Mostly all Asian food market in the city do sell premix fish paste,so it's save me the trouble do everything from scratch.And again it depend on the store who make it,some really make it very good and after cook ,I can feel the 'kick' when I bite it.But today batch of paste is not really good,it's mushy.To make a note to myself,I will not buy premix fish paste from this food market again.
Anyway,I never know how it going to turn out unless I cook and eat it.I recall the last premix fish paste I bought from Flushing food market is quite good.The best fish paste I bought before was in Brooklyn foods market in Ave U.I can feel the bouncy of the meat when I bite it.I cook it with Yuen Chun sweet bean paste which I bought from Topline in Elmhurst. .Yeun Chun product are made in Malaysia. yuenchun I bought their thick dark soy sauce too.It's very pure and original than what I used which made in China.Maybe because I'm so used to eat Malaysia products,I find products made in China smell weird and tasteless..Since my camera is not powerful and old,the picture I capture is not appetizing or colorful. But as long as it's eatable,I'm OK with it.I remember my mom always cook "yeung tau foo with sweet bean paste" this style.Next time I'm going to dip with curry sauce instead.
Here is my own receipe..
1 pint of premix fish paste(from store)
2 sheet of frozen bean curd(cut to 4 pcs)
2 pcs long red pepper(cut middle and remove the seeds)
3 pcs okra(cut middle and removed the stem)
2 spoon of Tauchu
2 tsp of sugar
2 spoon of corn starch
I almost finish the whole dish by myself.Mishu just eat few some spoon of her rice with sauce and left the table,I think she not interested.Maybe I will let her eat her left over tomorrow.Actually ,this Yeung Tau Foo is quite easy to prepared.If anyone who miss this dish for along time,this is the meal to try out!.

Beachlover, I bought the frozen fish paste from the asian store. When I was living in NY I bought the fresh fish paste from one of the huge supermarket in Chinatown. I forgot what is the name of the supermarket. They sell a lot of ready dishes and also meat.
By the way, your YTF looks really good. I especially like the stuff big red chilis :)
beachlover,
Do you remember the brand name of the fish paste you bought that was bouncy? I'm thinking of making some YTF and might run to the Vietnamese store next weekend.
Tumpang lalu Lesley...
Gert, if you have your brandname fish paste too, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Cath..I bought my fish paste from the store made.Usually the food market made their own fish paste and display together with the raw meat section in a tray..sorry I never buy the one in frozen form...maybe Gert can tell you..
Gert,I know which huge food mart you talking about.It's Deluxe food mart in Motts and Elizabeth St?.That store have alots of vendors who sell food from raw to food.That place is clean but a bit pricey.Btw,I vist your blog YTF..very nice done!!
Cat, I will take a picture of the fish paste container and e.mail it to you. They might have a few brand but they just as good.
Lesley, yeah that is the one. I like buying my meat there. They even clean and cut up the chicken for you and the supermarket is clean.
