Steamed Vegetarian Terrine

Method

1. 1 Press the tofu under a heavy object for 30 minutes to drain all the water; this step is crucial to ensure the patties don't fall apart.
2. 2 Soak shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, and vermicelli separately for 30 minutes, then chop them finely and squeeze out the excess water.
3. 3 Mash the tofu until smooth, then mix it all with cornstarch, soy sauce, and pepper.
4. 4 Line the mold with tofu skin, press the mixture firmly inside, then fold the tofu skin over the top.
5. 5 Steam for 35 minutes, then let cool in the mold for 15 minutes before cutting to prevent the patty from breaking.
