Steps
Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.
- Squeeze the water out of the tofu and mash it with the back of a knife; finely chop the shrimp and onion, and cut the king oyster mushrooms into bite-size pieces.
- Season the mashed tofu, chopped shrimp, and onion and mix well, then pinch off portions (25 g each) and roll them into balls.
- Heat a pan over medium heat, add the cooking oil (25 ml), and cook the tofu shrimp balls evenly for 10-15 minutes, then remove.
- In the same pan, stir-fry the king oyster mushrooms for 5 minutes and remove.
- Reduce to low heat, add the butter and flour to the same pan and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes to make a blond roux, pour in the milk, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the cooked tofu shrimp balls and mushrooms, salt (1 g), and ground black pepper (1 g), transfer to a bowl, and sprinkle with parsley flakes (2 g).
💡 TipShrimp, a seafood, seasons the dish and reduces the sodium used. King oyster mushrooms, rich in potassium that helps flush out sodium, are used. Their chewy texture makes up for the mild flavor.
