Lay 4 pieces of tofu on paper towels. Place a heavy cutting board on the tofu pieces. Press out as much liquid as possible by placing a pot of water on top of the board. Press the tofu for 1\/2 to 1 hour. Cut each piece diagonally to make 8 triangles. Meanwhile, soak the dried shrimp in cold water for 15 minutes. Drain and save the shrimp liquid. Chop shrimp finely. Mix shrimp with the next 7 tofu filling ingredients and 1T. of the shrimp liquid. With a small knife, cut a slit in the side of each tofu triangle. Stuff each slit with the tofu filling mixture. Heat oil in a non-slick pan over medium heat. Pan-fry tofu with stuffing side down for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Pour off extra oil then add the chicken stock. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes, turning the tofu over for even cooking. Remove tofu to a large serving plate, cover and keep warm. Stir oyster sauce and cornstarch mixture into liquid in a pan, cook until thickened. Sprinkle with shredded green onion and pour the sauce over the tofu. Garnish with parsley. Serve hot.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
