How it's used

Despite the name, this ingredient does not actually contain soy bean curd. It is made by deep frying a mixture of fish paste and egg, resulting in a light, spongy texture that excels at soaking up sauces and broth. It is a staple in Cantonese hotpot and braised vegetable dishes.

Common mistake
