Ingredients- 1 block (approx. 300g) firm tofu
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 paper cup (approx. 100ml) milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt (approx. 2g)
- 1/2 small carrot
- 1/2 small onion
- 1 handful (approx. 10g) green onion or chives
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, drain the tofu thoroughly and cut it into 4 equal pieces. Finely mince the carrot, onion, and green onion (or chives). Preparing your ingredients beforehand will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
In a blender or food processor, combine the 4 pieces of tofu, 1/2 paper cup of milk, and the 2 eggs. Blend until smooth and creamy; this step ensures a wonderfully soft texture.
Step 3
Pour the smoothly blended tofu mixture into a microwave-safe dish. Sprinkle the minced carrot, onion, and green onion (or chives) evenly over the top. Gently mix everything together with a spoon or spatula. A good mix makes for a more visually appealing dish!
Step 4
To prevent the custard from drying out or splattering in the microwave, cover the dish with a lid or plastic wrap. If using plastic wrap, poke a few small holes with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Step 5
Microwave on high for 7 to 10 minutes. Check for doneness; if it’s not firm enough, continue microwaving in 1-minute intervals until it reaches your desired consistency. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean when it’s ready.
Step 6
Once removed from the microwave, let the tofu and egg custard cool slightly. Then, cut it into bite-sized pieces. Your incredibly simple and delicious tofu and egg custard is ready! It’s a perfect side dish for rice or a delightful snack for children.
