Remember to choose the correct type of tofu for this chinese dish. Pressed tofu is preferred for this dish as it contains less moisture, hence it can hold its shape better when mashed and give the meatballs a firmer texture. Do not overcook the meatballs as the green kailan will turn yellowish. This will affect the presentation of this chinese dish.
