Today I will cook Tofu Steam with a spicy ginger broth and feel fresh in the mouth. This is a dish that is not only delicious and appetizing to eat, but also efficacious for the health of the body.
To make steam dishes tofu with ginger pickle sauce, First I will make a ginger pickle. Ginger pickles with rich flavors can we get with the right processing so the fermentation process goes well. The good ginger pickles are ginger pickles that have a little spicy taste, fresh on the tongue and the aroma of the wire smelled perfectly, pickled does not bubble and not smell stale. The delicacy of Tofu steam dish depends on the success of making ginger pickles.
To make ginger asinations, I will use young ginger, because young ginger hasn't had a lot of fiber and will be easily chewed. I will look for it in the front garden of the house.
I will take about 100 grams of ginger, the ginger I take is about 4 months old and doesn't have much fiber yet.
Before being processed into cooking spices, I will clean the ginger from the soil that is still attached.
After the ginger is clean from the ground, I peel the skin, then I wash the ginger clean.
