Main Ingredients- 1 block firm tofu (for frying or regular)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 handful green onions, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1-2 Tbsp dried shrimp (optional, for extra umami!)
- A little sesame oil (for finishing)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the finely chopped green onions and stir-fry.
Step 2
Continue to sauté until the green onions turn a vibrant green and become fragrant, releasing their aromatic oil. This step adds a wonderful depth of flavor to the dish.
Step 3
Rinse the block of tofu under running water, lightly drain any excess water, and place it whole into the pan with the green onion oil.
Step 4
Using a spatula, break down the tofu into smaller pieces and stir-fry, allowing some of its moisture to evaporate. You don’t need to press the tofu beforehand.
Step 5
Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the crumbled tofu and stir to combine, seasoning it evenly.
Step 6
Add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce and continue to stir-fry with the tofu. Oyster sauce enhances the overall flavor profile of the tofu.
Step 7
Crack the 2 eggs directly into the pan.
Step 8
Gently stir the eggs with the spatula as they cook, scrambling them and mixing them with the crumbled tofu until you achieve a scramble-like consistency.
Step 9
If you like, add 1-2 tablespoons of dried shrimp for an extra boost of umami. You can omit this if you don’t have it.
Step 10
Continue to stir-fry until most of the moisture from the tofu has evaporated. Once it reaches a slightly crumbly texture, your Tofu Egg Stir-fry is ready!
Step 11
Serve the Tofu Egg Stir-fry generously over a bowl of warm rice and mix well to create a delicious Tofu Egg Rice Bowl. For an extra nutty flavor, drizzle a few drops of sesame oil before mixing.
