Oyster and Tofu Stew is a common dish in coastal areas, as oysters are abundant there and their flesh is very fresh and delicious. Tofu is a great match for seafood, as it can absorb the flavors of the broth, becoming richer and more fragrant the longer it's stewed. If frozen tofu is used, it will absorb even more of the sauce.
