Braised Fish with Bean Curd Puff and Bean Paste

This is another simple and nice dish to go with extra helping of white rice ...
And with bean curd puff added - I thought it was interesting.
Cheah, thanks for sharing this is very delicious ...

This is the second time I cook this and I added more bean curd puffs .... a very satisfying dinner



This was my first attempt at this dish






Cheah, why mine look so dark color?

  6. Hey, thanks for the link! My favourite ... beancurd puffs. I don't know what brand of dark soya sauce you're using, if you don't like it so dark, you can add less. It's more for colour rather than for flavour. The black beans also contribute to the colour of the dish.
