Ingredients
- 200g firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Tofu: Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Slice it into cubes. If you’re not doing this properly, you might as well just throw it in the bin!
- Heat the Pan: Grab a non-stick skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil. Don’t let it sit there like a lazy bum; get it hot!
- Cook the Tofu: Toss in the cubed tofu. Fry it until it’s golden brown on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Don’t just stand there—turn those pieces!
- Add Aromatics: Once the tofu is beautifully browned, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir it around for about 30 seconds until it’s fragrant. If you can’t smell it, something’s wrong!
- Scramble the Eggs: Push the tofu to one side of the pan and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble them until they’re just set. Mix everything together like you mean it!
- Season It Up: Pour in the soy sauce, add the chopped green onions, and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like a kick. Stir well to combine everything. Taste it—if it’s bland, add more soy sauce like you care!
- Serve: Plate it up over a bed of cooked rice. Make it look good because presentation matters!
There you have it—a quick, satisfying, and utterly scrumptious Tofu Egg Stir-Fry. Serve it hot, and remember, cooking is about passion and precision! Get in there, give it your all, and enjoy every bite!
