Ingredients for Stir-fried Tofu with Eggs For 2 people
Tofu 300 gr Ground pork 80 gr Green onion 40 gr Chives 4 stalks Garlic 2 cloves Shiitake mushrooms 2 pieces Chicken eggs 2 pieces Sesame 1 teaspoon Soy sauce 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce 1 tablespoon Chili sauce 1/2 tablespoon Tapioca flour 1/2 teaspoon Filtered water 300 ml Cooking oil 3 tablespoons Common spices a little (Sugar/ salt/ ground pepper)
How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh tofu
- Choose tofu that is off-white; if it has a yellowish color, it may contain gypsum and should not be selected.
- Buy pieces of tofu that feel light and soft. If they feel heavy, firm, or a bit hard, and are too square, they should be avoided.
- Real, pure tofu has a distinctive aroma, while tofu containing gypsum either has no smell or a faint lime scent.
How to choose good quality eggs
- It is advisable to choose eggs with a sturdy, shiny, and visually appealing outer shell, and there should be no rough patches or tiny holes on the surface.
- You can also gently shake the egg to check; if you hear the sound of liquid sloshing inside, do not buy it as it indicates that the egg is spoiled.
- Avoid purchasing eggs with dark, heavily cracked shells, as these eggs have been stored too long and are no longer usable.
