How it's used
This dish is a staple of traditional Cantonese dim sum and is prized for the texture of the bean curd skin, which absorbs the savory sauce. It is almost exclusively served in restaurants during yum cha and is rarely prepared at home due to the complexity of wrapping and steaming the delicate skin.
