Braised Tofu With Crab Flesh & Roe (蟹粉豆腐)
Dinner @ '上海人家' - a restaurant chain offering Shanghainese cuisines.
Proximity to rivers, lakes and the sea, means crab is a constant ingredient for restaurant menus in Shanghai. The locals adores the mix of crab flesh and roe, and find all sorts of ways to work this decadent combo into all sorts of dishes.
The blandness of tofu complement the combo well. The silky lightness of the tofu marries the robust richness of the crab combo perfectly. If not for the over-the-chart cholesterol levels associated with the dish, I would have slurped up pots of this delicacy!
