Ingredients:

5 Chinese mushrooms
1 Egg-white (lightly beaten)
1 tsp Chopped carrots
1 tsp Bacon bits
1 tsp Oyster sauce
½ tsp Cornflour
Pinch of pepper & salt
(Sauce)
(to add a royalty touch, Ive used Premium Abalone Sauce instead of Oyster to make the sauce):

1 tsp Cornstarch
Dash of Chinese wine

Preparation:
1) Chop fillet & mash with Tofu. Mix thoroughly with all other ingredients.
2) Using a Chinese soup spoon, gently mould the Tofu into Pipa shape.
3) Steam Tofu for about 5 mins. Remove from steamer & drain stock into small pan to make stock.
4) Coat Tofu with flour. You may want to wait for it to cool down a little.
5) Heat oil & deep-fry Tofu till golden brown. Turn gently to avoid breaking them. Drain oil & dish onto serving plate.
6) Heat pan & add mixed vegetables to stock. Cook till soft & add cornstarch to thicken sauce.
Ive used Press Tofu here which is good for pan fried & deep fried dishes. If you prefer dont like fried food, simply skip step 4 & 5.
Buy the Extra Smooth Silken Tofu to get a softer texture if youre only going to steam.
