Ingredients
Firm white tofu 300 g
Jicama 200 g
Oyster mushrooms 100 g
Wood ear mushrooms 10 g
Tomatoes 1 piece
Leek 1 portion
Coriander 1 a little
Flour 20 g
Annatto oil 1 tablespoon
Implementation Steps
01
Prepare the ingredients
Rinse the white tofu, drain, put it in a bowl and mash with a spoon. Peel and wash the jicama, then cut into small dice. Trim the oyster mushroom stems, wash and dice as well.

Soak the wood ear mushrooms in warm water for about 10 minutes, rinse and dice. Wash the tomatoes and leek and chop finely.
02
Make the xiu mai
Mix the diced oyster mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, jicama and leek with the tofu. Season with about ½ tablespoon vegetarian seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon vegetarian oyster sauce, ½ tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon ketchup, 1 teaspoon chili sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 20 g flour and 1 teaspoon pepper, then mix well so all the ingredients absorb the seasoning.
03
Steam the xiu mai
Once everything is mixed, roll the mixture into balls and steam on a tray for about 15 minutes.
04
Make the sauce
Heat 1 tablespoon annatto oil in a pan, add 1 tablespoon leek and fry until fragrant. Add the chopped tomatoes and stir-fry, then add 150 ml water, 1 teaspoon ketchup, 1 teaspoon chili sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon vegetarian seasoning powder and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Finally, simmer for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
05
The finished dish
Pour the hot, glossy red sauce over the plump xiu mai and garnish with a little coriander – the dish will look more tempting than ever.
