Prepare Tofu Puffs:

  Have ready some fresh tofu puffs.

  Cut each tofu puff with an insertion using a pair of scissors. Using both hands, turn each tofu puffs skin inside out. Set aside while we prepare the filling.

Prepare Filling for Tofu Puffs:

• 
  Have some meat, fish paste and dried scallop to make the filling.
• 
  Rehydrate cleaned dried scallops by soaking in water for about 30 minutes , until they softened. Drained and retain the liquid for making the sauce. Using a fork, break the softened scallops into strips.
• 
  Next, hand mince the meat. First cut the meat (partial frozen) into thin slices on both sides. Then rotate the meat and dice into small pieces. Lastly, chop to mince the meat and put into a mixing bowl.

  Add a teaspoonful of filling and stuff the filling into the tofu puffs. Smoothen the filling with the back of the spoon and press the tofu skin together to make sure the filling is intact in the tofu puffs. Repeat for all the prepared tofu puffs. Then we are ready to deep fry the stuffed tofu puffs.
