Clever again! Also thanks for thinking about the ingredients that are more readily available for us in different parts of the globe. This is for sure something I could make, and as I have done your sweet&sour recipe before, I know that's yummy too!
I've made this dish today! The taste was very good but the filling is creamy so, quite different from fish. Next time I'll cut the pieces once again in half so that the filling is less and more surface is crunchy. Anyway, a very creative and tasty dish. Thank you for sharing!
Looks really good! Could you do a recipe for yong tau fu some day? Love that, especially the classic broth which I have no idea how to make vegan. Thanks!
update: really good! the flavor of the sauce really changed for the better after i let it cool down for a few minutes, i found. kind of hard to cut the rolls after the first fry without squishing the filling out! thinking of trying a version with methylcellulose as a gelling agent, maybe steaming a flat sheet of the filling before rolling, or maybe just more cornstarch and cooking the filling in the oven or saucepan to gel it before frying. the final fry and the bit of squishing during the cutting process made sections look like chunks of whole fried trout, and tasted exactly like my memory of deep-fried oysters, both of which i had on special occasions as a kid. Thanks for this special experience!
Hello Woon Heng. No. 1 fan here from NZ. We love you're recipes and always fancy to cook on a special occasion. We've done this vegan fish and our challenge is when we're slicing them. The filings are always bursting out. Anyway, it's still very delish and filling. Thanks, Frey and Maria
Hey Frey and Maria, thanks so so much for your lovely support. You can use a serrated knife or wait until it's cool down more (you may stick them in the fridge a little). Also, when I roll them up, I wrap them loosely to account for the tofu expansion. It also helps if you remove the tofu liquid more. Let me know if this helps. :)
i am back from china..i ate this mock fish there..was delicious. i want to make this but i dont have nori or rice paper sheets... i have kombu see weed. can it be used?
King mushrooms are very expensive in Australia, and also Shitake. Any other vegetables we can substitute for? I see you use them in alot of recipes. Love them but way too pricey here
Hey Cyn, thanks for letting me know. You can try my vegan unagi filling for this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8bZ4dZTPBOs.html I agree, the king oyster is very versatile. It used to be quite expensive here and now it's more accessible and at a better price. Hope it will be like that in your case. :-)
