Steamed Tofu with Olive Vegetables

Never have I heard of "olive vegetables".. Till my granny introduced it to me. She was hospitalised for a couple of months and was really sick and tired of the food they served in the hospital. She craved for something simple like steamed tofu and olive vegetables. It is her comfort food. So, I improvised her recipe and served this with a bowl of porridge. She loves it!Never could I imagine something so black and unappetising can actually taste this good.

Ingredients (Serve 4)
1 pc tofu (suitable for steaming)
1 1/2 tbsp olive vegetables
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 chilli, chopped
1 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp coriander,

Method
Stir fry garlic with some oil till fragrant. Add olive vegetables and chilli and fry for 1/2 min.

Stir in fish sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.

Place tofu on a heat-proof plate. Top it with the cooked ingredients.

Steam for approx. 5-8 mins. Once ready, garnish with coriander.

Serve hot with porridge.
