How to choose delicious ingredients
How to choose delicious pork floss
- You should choose pork floss that has a light yellow color due to cooked meat. Avoid buying pork floss that is dark yellow as it may be dyed or contain chemicals.
- Real pork floss will be fluffy like cotton, with small strands that do not stick together. It should not be too chewy or too crumbly; it will gradually dissolve when placed in the mouth.
- In contrast, fake pork floss made from cassava residue will become chewier the more you chew it, and it may not crumble even after a long time; the strands will be thick and stick together, not fluffy.
- Additionally, to ensure health safety and peace of mind when cooking, you can make pork floss at home.
How to choose delicious salted eggs
- You should buy salted eggs from reputable stores or supermarkets to ensure hygiene and health safety.
- When purchasing salted eggs, you should also closely check the expiration date and production date printed on the packaging. It is best to buy salted eggs that were produced as close to your purchase date as possible to ensure the freshness and taste of the eggs.
- Avoid buying salted eggs that are leaking, crushed, have dark spots, or are poorly packaged with torn wrappers.
- You can make salted eggs at home with detailed instructions from TasteVN.
Tools for implementation
How to Make Salted Egg Fried Soft Tofu
-
Prepare the Ingredients
First, use a paper towel to cover all sides of the tofu to absorb the moisture on the surface of the soft tofu.
Next, use a knife to cut the tofu into bite-sized squares and place them in a tray.
Crack the chicken eggs into a bowl and use a fork to whisk them together until the yolks and whites are well combined.
Trim the roots of the green onions, wash them thoroughly, chop them small, then place them in a bowl, drizzle 1 tablespoon of hot oil over them to make the oil for the green onions.
-
Fry the Soft Tofu
First, pour the beaten eggs over the tray containing the soft tofu, then use a spatula and your hands to turn it gently so the eggs coat all sides of the tofu.
Next, coat the tofu with breadcrumbs so that the breadcrumbs stick evenly to all sides of the tofu.
Heat a pan with oil on the stove, once the oil is hot, add the tofu and fry on high heat until the tofu is golden brown, then remove the tofu to a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
-
Making salted egg sauce
Put 2 salted egg yolks into a bowl and mash them with a fork.
Next, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and the mashed salted egg yolks into a pan.
Use a spatula to stir evenly until the salted egg sauce bubbles, then add the fried tofu, using chopsticks to turn the tofu so that all sides are evenly coated with the salted egg sauce.
-
Completion
Place the tofu on a plate and then gradually add a little dried pork and scallion oil on top of the tofu pieces. And we have completed this dish!
-
Final Product
The salted egg fried tofu after completion has a crispy golden color. When you bite into it, you will feel the crunch of the outer layer, the soft and smooth texture of the tofu along with the rich, salty, and fragrant flavor of scallion oil, dried pork, and chicken egg.
This will be a super attractive fried dish specifically for kids on the weekends, moms!
How to Choose Good Tofu
- You should buy tofu from reputable supermarkets and stores to avoid purchasing low-quality products.
- When buying, choose tofu that is well-packaged, intact, and not damaged or leaking.
- You should also pay attention to the expiration date printed on the product packaging. And it’s best to buy tofu with a production date closest to your purchase date for better taste when cooking!
- Additionally, you can make soft tofu at home with the very detailed guides from TasteVN.
How to choose delicious chicken eggs
- Fresh eggs will have a dark brown shell, uniform color, with no cracks and no black spots.
- Additionally, you can use your hand to feel the surface of the egg shell; if the surface is rough and slightly coarse, then it is a fresh chicken egg, while a smooth surface indicates that the egg has been stored for quite some time.
- You can gently shake the egg and bring it close to your ear; if you don’t hear any noise, then it is a fresh egg, otherwise, it is an egg that has been incubated and has a chick inside.
