Chinese New Year around the corner and it's expected that lots of dishes will be meaty. A simple dish like this would be better for our tummy before CNY.
Surprisingly good and tasty dish with simple ingredients - soft tofu and fermented black beans.

This is a homey dish, good with rice and easy to cook. The original recipe uses fish balls [I don't buy fish balls especially the springy and pure white coloured ones] so I replaced it with tofu puffs which soaks up the sauce. You can cook this dish just with tofu.
