5 Spices Tau kee & Tau pok

This is a yummy and yet inexpensive dish. I bought the pre-fried Tau kee ( beancurd skins)  for $1.50 and 2 bags of 8 Tau pok ( long type) for $1. Total cost of this dish $2.50 excluding gas of course.



Ingredients:

5 dried beancurd sticks (tau kee, 腐竹)2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp light soya sauce
2 tsp dark soya sauce
1 tbsp Shaoxing wine ( I use Hua tiao )
1/2 tsp sugar ( I omitted )
1 tsp five-spice powder
3 cloves garlic, washed and smashed
3 thin slices ginger
1 Star anise
Methods:

Place deep-fried beancurd skin and all other ingredients in a pot. Add enough water or stock to almost cover all ingredients. Bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, for 40 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve with steamed rice.
