Roast Pork & Bean Curd Clay-Pot 烧肉豆腐煲

Roast Pork & Bean Curd Clay-Pot 烧肉豆腐煲

Just mouth-watering!

Bean curd or tofu on its own is rather bland. However, once deep-fried and cooked together with meat and vegetables, it becomes scrumptious!. I love the chives in this dish. It lent fragrance to the tofu and the roast pork belly.  A great combination ! Scrumptious!
