Steamed tofu with shrimp paste flavoured pork - 鹹蝦豬肉蒸豆腐

You may know Thai or Malaysian shrimp paste (kapi or belacan). Do you know there is also a Chinese shrimp paste or 'hum ha jiong' 鹹蝦醬? It's a pinkish brown, soft and smooth paste in a jar. I use Lee Kum Kee brand. It's not cheap about £5 a jar but it's a nice treat. The paste will turn browner once opened and kept in fridge but does not affect the quality, will keep perfectly ok for a long time
