This is one of my favorite recipes for weekday cooking night. You can whip a meal in less than 30mins with simple ingredients. This is an extremely kid friendly recipes.
Ingrediants:
1 pkt of soft Tofu
1 tbsp of dried shrimp (soak in water for 15 mins & drained)
3ea shallot (peeled & sliced thinly)
2tbsp Chinese dried sweet radish (cubed, optional)
Soy sauces
Oil for frying

Method:
1) Remove the tofu packaging & pop it on a plate. Soft tofu can be eaten raw.
2) Heat a tbsp of oil, fry the shallot & dried shrimp. Remember to keep stirring & keep your eye on it as you want make sure that it did not burn. Then, you can add in the Chinese dried sweet radish & stir fry for 1-2 mins.
3) Top the tofu with the above. Just pour some light soya sauces over it. Not too much.
4) You can garnish with some chopped coriander/ cilantro or spring onion.
Tips  to make this a successful dishes: good quality dried shrimp. I bought those from Kuala Sepetang. It is fresh & less salty.
