Method

This is a variation on a classic Chinese dish that incorporates century egg, silken tofu and pork floss. When we were creating this dish, we needed something to stand up to the strong flavour of the preserved egg and dressing. My sous chef at the time, Nigel Stanley, suggested we use smoked eel, which works really well with those flavours and ups the umami factor.
