Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Steam the soft tofu for 5 minutes to sterilize it and let it cool for later use. If it is lactone tofu, you can omit this step

   

2. 2 Peel the preserved eggs and blanch them in boiling water to remove the dirty air. You are also very particular about choosing preserved eggs. You can choose preserved eggs with pine flowers or black or slightly orange colors that are more transparent. The goldfish produced in this way will be rich in color and the tail effect will be very beautiful

   

3. 3 Cut the tofu into rectangular pieces and place them into 6 or 5 pieces, or 3 pieces in a circle, whatever you like

   

4. 4 Cut the preserved egg in half vertically to make the middle part of the goldfish. If the plate is small, cut the preserved egg vertically from one third to make the preserved egg smaller

   

5. 5 Arrange the sliced preserved eggs on the tofu one by one

   

6. 6 Take another two preserved eggs to make goldfish tails. First cut the preserved eggs in half, then place them on the chopping board and cut them into thin slices of different sizes. Note that when cutting preserved eggs, the knife should be dipped in water before cutting. This will ensure that the center of the preserved eggs does not stick to the knife. After each cut, brush the knife clean with water before continuing to cut

   

7. 7 Then take the translucent and thin parts of two preserved egg skins, clamp them over and cut them into tail shapes. The transparent parts can be placed on both sides of the tails

   

8. 8 To make the goldfish tail, place the darker pieces with preserved egg centers in the middle of the tail, and the lighter and more transparent pieces on both sides. Pay attention to how the tails are placed to give a flexible feel. In addition, use your favorite seasonings to prepare the dipping sauce. Just dip it in the dipping sauce when eating
