You've got so many cool stuff in your pantry.<BR/><BR/>Greg, thanks and welcome. You came at the right time to learn new stuff because I'm learning too while I am back in Singapore for two weeks. <BR/><BR/>Shayne - Thanks. And I hope that you'll get try some of these flavours some day. <BR/><BR/>Toni, I wish I can find them in Sydney, but no such luck.<BR/><BR/>Tigerfish, yes, the beansprouts are commonly blanched, but I prefer mine more crunchy.<BR/><BR/>Truffle, thanks!<BR/><BR/>Valli, yes and someday I will convert my meat man :-)<BR/><BR/>BBOven, great idea!<BR/><BR/>Deb, the things we do when our meat-man are not around.. ;-) <BR/><BR/>Warda, thanks for your question:<BR/>Tofu in Singapore/Japan/Australia is available in a few forms - most commonly: firm, silken (soft) and tube (it's also soft and also comes in regular and egg added). I mentioned firm because it's easier to fry. The silken types can be used in Japanese deep fried tofu called "agadeshi tofu" which is also a fav of mine. <BR/><BR/>I mentioned fresh because in Singapore we can find really fresh ones from the "wet" market than have to be used withing 2-3 days. I've not tried frying the packaged ones like the ones you probably get at your supermarket, but I imagine that it should be fine so long as the tofu is not too dense. Some brands of packed tofu in Sydney are quite dense and I shopped around before I found one I liked. Hope that helpsNora B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04360757422555317095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398592642206432605.post-11153616346893074412008-01-08T06:44:00.000+11:002008-01-08T06:44:00.000+11:00My mouth is watering just reading your recipe!
