This dish uses purely meat! Just fair warning to the vegetarians out there 🙂

Sichuan Chicken Tofu’s a nice dish that, I think, stands a lot of assumptions many Westerners have about tofu on their head. This dish uses chicken breast to mimic the texture of tofu by combining it with stock, egg white, and cornstarch and straining out the connective tissue. It’s a tasty dish that really has no Western equivalent.

Here’s the written recipe over on /r/cooking:

ABOUT US
—————————————————————————————–
Learn how to cook real deal, authentic Chinese food! We post recipes every Tuesday (unless we happen to be travelling) 🙂

We’re Steph and Chris – a food-obsessed couple that lives in Shenzhen, China. Steph is from Guangzhou and loves cooking food from throughout China – you’ll usually be watching her behind the wok. Chris is a long-term expat from America that’s been living in China and loving it for the last nine years – you’ll be listening to his explanations and recipe details, and doing some cooking at times as well.

This channel is all about learning how to cook the same taste that you’d get in China. Our goal for each video is to give you a recipe that would at least get you close to what’s made by some of our favorite restaurants here. Because of that, our recipes are no-holds-barred Chinese when it comes to style and ingredients – but feel free to ask for tips about adaptations and sourcing too!
