How it's used
Stuffed tofu is a staple of Hakka cuisine that has become a beloved comfort food in Hong Kong. While often associated with fish paste filling, the term specifically highlights the process of hollowing out the tofu to stuff it with meat or seafood. It is frequently served in a clear broth or pan fried until golden brown.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with plain tofu, as the name explicitly implies a filling is present. If you just want plain bean curd, ask for 豆腐 instead.
