Ingredients and Tools

  • firm tofu
  • eggs
  • light soy sauce
  • dark soy sauce
  • oyster sauce
  • sugar
  • cornstarch
  • nonstick skillet

Measurements

  • firm tofu 1 block (market buy 1.25 blocks * people)
  • eggs 2 pcs * number of tofu blocks
  • cornstarch 50 g * number of tofu blocks
  • light soy sauce 20 g
  • oyster sauce 10 g
  • dark soy sauce 5 g
  • sugar 10 g

Steps

  • Beat the eggs into an egg mixture and set aside
  • Mix the sauce (20 g light soy sauce +10 g oyster sauce +5 g dark soy sauce +10 g sugar +10 g cornstarch +200 ml water)
  • Slice the firm tofu (personal suggestion, for reference: people * 5 slices, thickness 1.2 cm)
  • Pour cornstarch into a plate, coat the tofu slices with cornstarch, then coat with egg mixture, set aside
  • Heat the pan, add 18ml cooking oil. Wait 10 seconds for the oil to heat up
  • Place the egg-coated tofu slices evenly into the pan, cover the bottom of the pan, pan-fry on low heat until golden, flip
  • When both sides are golden, pour in the sauce so each piece of tofu is bathed in it, cook on high heat for 3 minutes until the sauce thickens
  • Turn off the heat
