Yong tau foo

Yong tau foo is a Hakka Chinese dish consisting primarily of tofu filled with ground meat mixture or fish paste. Variations on this dish feature — instead of tofu — vegetables and mushrooms stuffed with ground meat or fish paste. Yong tau foo is eaten in numerous ways, either dry with a sauce or served as a soup dish. It is commonly found in parts of China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and in cities where there are large Hakka populations. The Hakka people initiated a southward migration to escape conflicts in Northern China, eventually settling in Southern China after a series of relocations. Due to the unavailability of wheat flour traditionally used for making dumpling skins during festivals, they substituted tofu. The Hakka term "Nyong," meaning the act of stuffing, gave rise to the dish known as "Yong Tau Foo," where tofu is filled with various ingredients.
