• 2 tablespoons tapioca flour

2. Prepare the Vegetables and Tofu:

   • Mash the tofu until smooth.
   • Grate the carrot finely.

5. Steam the Mixture:

   • Pour the tofu mixture into the prepared pan.
   • Steam the mixture for about 30 minutes. To avoid water dripping onto the dish, cover the steaming pot with a clean cloth.

6. Cool and Slice:
