Main Ingredients- 1/2 block soft tofu
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 stalk green onion
- 2-3 Tbsp cooking oil
- 1 serving warm cooked rice
Sauce Ingredients- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp vinegar
- 3 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp vinegar
- 3 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the green onions, which will add wonderful flavor to your rice bowl. Take 1/4 stalk of green onion, wash it thoroughly, and then chop it finely into small pieces, about 0.5 cm thick. The fragrant aroma of the green onion will elevate the taste of your dish.
Step 2
To ensure a smooth and creamy texture, crack 2 large eggs into a bowl. Using chopsticks, beat the eggs well until the yolks and whites are completely combined. It’s important to whisk them thoroughly without any lumps.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the flavor-packed sauce. In a small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 Tbsp vinegar for a touch of tang, 3 Tbsp water for moisture, 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide and 1/2 Tbsp sugar for sweetness, and 1 Tbsp sesame oil for a nutty aroma. Stir everything together until the sugar is dissolved. This sauce will be the key to the dish’s savory deliciousness.
Step 4
It’s time to start cooking! Heat a pan over medium heat and add 2-3 Tbsp of cooking oil. Let the oil heat up sufficiently. Once the pan is hot, add the chopped green onions and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until they become slightly golden and fragrant, releasing their aroma into the oil. This step creates a flavorful base for your dish.
Step 5
Once the green onions are nicely fragrant, it’s time to add the soft tofu. Add 1/2 block of soft tofu directly into the pan, breaking it into large chunks. Gently break it apart without mashing it too much. Immediately after, pour the beaten eggs around the edges of the pan. The eggs will gently cook and envelop the soft tofu.
Step 6
As the edges of the egg begin to set, carefully pour the prepared sauce around the edges of the pan. Once the sauce starts to bubble, cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for about 1-2 minutes. This allows the soft tofu and egg to absorb the delicious flavors of the sauce.
Step 7
Finally, gently place the softly cooked soft tofu and egg mixture over a bowl of warm rice to complete your delightful ‘Soft Tofu and Egg Rice Bowl’! For an extra touch, garnish with any remaining green onions or sesame seeds if you like. It’s a simple yet incredibly satisfying meal!
