Ingredients

  • 500 g Tofu cut into 1.5cm cubes
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 tablespoon oil

Instructions

  • Pan-frying Tofu: Add the oil to a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pan-fry the tofu cubes until lightly golden.
  • Adding eggs: Pour egg liquid into the Tofu in the pan. When the egg liquid condenses. turn around and cook till both sides are lightly golden. Separate them into pieces.
  • Braising tofu and eggs: Add the soy sauce and water, put on the lid, and cook for 5 minutes over low-medium heat.
  • Finishing: Take off the lid and add the diced celery. Cook until all the liquid evaporated and starts sizzling. Serve with rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Tofu: This recipe calls for firm tofu as it holds its shape well, unlike soft tofu which can easily fall apart. For a softer texture, you can cut the Tofu into larger cubes.
  • Soy sauce: The quality of soy sauce plays a crucial role in this recipe, for the best results I recommend using leekumkee soy sauce.
  • Celery: Celery adds a fragrant flavor and a crunchy texture to the dish, but it can be substituted with other herbs like coriander, spring onions, or any other herb of your preference.
  • To ensure a foolproof result, it is recommended to use a non-stick pan for this recipe.
