INSTRUCTIONS:

Wash the pork and cut into thin slices. Mix the pork with shrimp paste, sugar, cooking wine, sesame oil, soy sauce and 2 tbsp of water evenly. Marinade them for about 15 minutes.

Wash the tofu puffs with hot water to remove the excess oil from the surface. Squeeze the water from the puffs completely and cut in half for each puff.
