Sapo Tahu Ayam ( Chicken Sapo Tofu )

This is one of my favorite Chinese's food to ordered while i has been work at Jakarta. I try to browse over the Internet and found this recipe from Sefa's blog. 

I try substitute the Egg Tofu with Medium Firm Tofu and shrimp with chicken because i remembered at my favorite Chinese's restaurant  at Jakarta, they served Sapo Tahu cooked with chicken, or beef or seafood. 

Also i substitute Button mushroom with Shitake Dried Mushroom and Chinese cabbage with regular cabbage. And  you can substitute also with Bokcoy/baby bokcoy or cauliflower.

Just a tips in here, if you used cabbage, before you dump into soup or mix with food, slice the cabbage into small pieces or cube sliced then fried with sliced garlic.

I got this info from my friend Silvia Yustanti and she is right, with this way will make the cabbage has more flavor.
