Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
Cut the tofu crosswise into thin slices and shape into a fan with 2 layers on the bottom; set aside.
Step 2
Combine the lean pork, shrimp meat, egg white, and water chestnut into a filling, season with fine salt and MSG, mix well, then spread over the bottom layer of tofu. Cover with the top layer of tofu to form a sandwich.
Step 3
Use the eggplant to build the fan handle frame. Cut the tomato into half-moon shapes and place them at the top of the fan. Use the white radish shreds as the fan tassel. Once the shape is complete, place in a steamer and steam for 5 minutes until cooked through.
Step 4
Remove from the steamer, use the remaining garnishes to decorate a pattern on the fan surface, drizzle with sesame oil, and serve.
