Yong Tau Foo in Spicy Black Bean Sauce
Yong Tau Foo in Spicy Black Bean Sauce
This is a simple recipe which I call “15-minute shorts” – because it can be whipped up within 15 minutes, perfect for busy nights. Yong Tau Foo 釀豆腐 (also spelled yong tao foo, yong tau fu, or yong tau hu, yong tau hoo) literally means stuffed bean curd. I shall just call it YTH for short here. No, I didn’t make my own YTH, I’m just a noob cook hehe. There is a stall near my place which sells excellent YTH. It’s really easy and we love it very much. B says this is his fave type of home-cooked YTH ;p
Yong Tau Foo pieces (before cooked)
Spring onions and broccoli
Ingredients
(Serves 2-3)12-20 pieces of Yong Tau Foo
2 spring onion stalks, cut to 2 inch lengths
Some broccoli florets
1 tbsp spicy black bean sauce (I used LKK brand)
1 tbsp chopped garlic
1/2 tbsp oilDirections
1. In a pot of boiling water, boil yong tau hoo pieces and broccoli for a few minutes till cooked. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat oil in wok and saute garlic as well as the white stalks of spring onions till garlic is lightly browned.
3. Add spicy black bean sauce, the cooked YTH pieces and the remaining spring onions. Stir till even. Serve with warm rice.

Looks fantastic. I’ll have to shop around to see if I can get YTF locally.
Girl, your pictures make me hungry for yong tau foo. Haven’t made it for a long time and quite miss it.
What a delicious recipe! I love black bean sauce.
I love black bean sauce too. I am now craving for some. YTF is so versatile, yeah? I cook them in miso soup. :D
I’ve never heard of this before – but wow…I’d love to sit down to some of this!

Oh, and I like the color combo of the green broccoli on the red plate. :XO:
Looks droolicious! I miss yong tau foo. Never knew there’s instant black bean sauce by LKK. Gotta look for it the next visit to asian supermarket.
yummy yummy in my tummmy :)
Just noticed your 15 minute posts icon.. Cute! I’ll be looking forward to your series.
NC, I may not know how to (properly) pronounce some of your dishes, but I know what I like, and everything you post about looks good to me, including this Yong Tau Foo!
This dish sounds very good. What exactly does stuffed bean curd taste like?
your heavenly YTF!! me crazy for stuffed chille and fu chok!!
Your YTF is making me drooling now! Like ladyhomechef, I am also interested to know where can I find this store. Hehehe!
Tried cooking this before but did not turn out well. Maybe I shd try again.
is this the same kind of thing you can use in steamboat / hotpot?
Thank you everyone for your kind comments, I appreciate them ^o^
Marc, I didn’t draw it, I just put the elements together ;p
ladyhomechef & lk, it’s at Blk 445 Pasir Ris Dr 6 (a corner stall). Do visit before 12pm or earlier ;p
Nate, yes some people put YTF in steamboat =)
Fascinating and gorgeous! Wiffy, are all those differently shaped pieces stuffed with different fillings?
(I use LKK black bean sauce, too. Thanks be to imports. :lol: )
Looks amazing. I need to buy some black bean sauce soon!
Susan, I’m glad the LKK sauce can be found in US =)
Y, thanks!
Hi Noobcook, I came across yr recipes a couple of wks ago when I was searching for recipes on baked food. So far I hv tried out yr 3 cups chickent n they were fabulous. Previously I had a japanese version of that dish but I think yours is tastier! Im going to try making the YTF with black bean sauce 2day but Im going 2 be using the LKK garlic black bean sauce instead coz my little princess cant eat spicy! Looking fwd to yr new recipes….cheers! :-)
Hi Pauline, thanks for your kind words … always happy when I hear that someone out there like my recipes :) Hope you like the rest as well :-)
Have cooked the YTF n they were great! Personally I luv YTF esp the “tau pok”. Cant believe that such a simple dish could taste so gooood! You wont believe this, Im going to cooked it again tis Fri!!! yum..yum…. :lol:
Btw I have tried making the pumpkin rice but it was a disaster coz I think I put in too much water to cook the rice n they turned out to be soggy…..but my little princess said it was delicious!!!! Will try cooking it again!
Thanks again Pauline, glad u like the YTF. Yes I tend to put too much water for the pumpkin/cabbage rice too, so now I measure with a cup ;p
