Egg and Tofu One Pot Recipe

This is a super easy egg and tofu recipe which can be finished in one pot and developed from the famous Mapo tofu. Tender and savory tofu with egg. I meet this newly invented recipe at one local restaurant. Wow, this is a new world. The tofu is so tender and so delicious with the sauce. There are lots of variations of this dish, you can substitute this sauce with sweet and sour sauce, kung pao sauce, Yu xiang sauce or any other chili sauce you love. You will get unbelievably soft and tender tofu with savory sauce.

When the tofu is wrapped with eggs, which helps to hold the flavors, this presents a similar feel to mapo tofu.

Cook’s Note

Soft tender tofu is hard to take out. If you want to keep the shape, use a small knife and separate the edges of the package. Take a plate and cover it over the package. Turn it over and then cut small holes in the two diagonal corners. Blow some air in, then the package can be removed easily.

Instructions

Whisk egg liquid well. And combine all the ingredients for the sauce together.

Heat oil in a pan until really hot, and pour the egg liquid in. Add tofu slabs when the egg liquid’s top layer is still running. So the egg will coat the tofu.

Pour the sauce in and add another 1/2 cup of water.

Slow down the fire and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Sprinkle some chopped fresh chili and coriander on top.
