Simple Tofu and Eggs

Ingredients

• 1 block firm tofu (cut into small cubes)
• 2 eggs (beaten)
• 2 tbsp cooking oil (for frying)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 0.5 tsp dark soy sauce (for color)
• 0.5 tsp sugar
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 stalk green onions (chopped for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the firm tofu into small, bite-sized cubes.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until well combined.

3. 3

   Pour the beaten eggs over the tofu cubes in a bowl and toss gently to ensure every piece of tofu is well-coated.

4. 4

   Heat cooking oil in a non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat.

5. 5

   Add the egg-coated tofu to the pan in a single layer. Fry until the egg is set and the tofu is golden brown on all sides.

6. 6

   Push the tofu to one side of the pan and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

7. 7

   In a small bowl, mix the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and water to create the sauce.

8. 8

   Pour the sauce mixture over the tofu. Stir gently to combine.

9. 9

   Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the tofu evenly.

10. 10

    Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.

Notes

For a crispier texture, ensure the tofu is patted dry before coating with egg. You can add a pinch of cornstarch to the sauce if you prefer it thicker.
