This steamed Chinese dish utilizes egg tofu that comes in tubes and can be found in Chinese groceries.  The egg tofu is silky smooth and pairs wonderfully with the minced pork and mushrooms. If you are a fan of soft tofu, then you will definitely love the flavour and texture of the egg tofu in this recipe.

Tofu is one of those staple foods in Asian cuisine and if you grew up eating it, you know just how amazing tofu can taste.  Tofu is made the same way cheese is made; soybean milk is coagulated and pressed to form the blocks of different firmness you can find in your grocery store.  Tofu, being very mild tasting, can take on any flavour you choose whether you steam, deep fry or stir fry it.  One of my favourite ways to enjoy soft tofu is in dessert form.  You can find dessert tofu in Chinese restaurants and in grocery stores.  The tofu is submerged in a sweet syrup, my personal favourite being coconut flavoured syrup.  

Mapo tofu is traditionally made with ground pork, but here we've used ground beef.  Variations of this popular Chinese recipe are common, ours is just a guideline.  The main thing to remember in order to achieve that spicy flavour is the combination of chili oil, oyster sauce and XO sauce.

I don't know if it's just me, but fake crab meat is one of those products that even though is completely different from what it's supposed to emulate, still tastes really good. Simulated bacon bits and ketchup flavored potato chips both fall into this category of food. Here is a recipe that is great if you need a quick, tasty and filling dish that's easy to put together.
