Fried Tofu Yong Tau Foo

We had time to prepare the Yong Tau Foo with egg plant, fried tofu, soy bean curd sheet, and okra for dinner yesterday. What actually happened was that we we able to come home slightly earlier than usual. This is one of those days where we did not have very much to do at the office and just felt that we can come home early. With the extra time, we decided to prepare the Yong Tau Foo. So, like usual, my wife and I took whatever we needed out from the fridge to prepare for dinner.

Egg Plant Yong Tau Foo

As we were taking the vegetables out from the fridge, we realized that some of the vegetables needed to be cook or else they may spoil within the next few days if we do not cook them. So, as we were going through what needs to be cooked and taking them out, we piled up the right vegetables and items for the Yong Tau Foo cuisine. That was why we cooked so much at the end. After dinner, we kept the leftovers and will be taking them to work tomorrow.
