Tomato Sauce Egg and Tofu — The Ultimate Rice Killer

Ingredients

  • 1 tomato
  • 50ml tomato paste
  • 1 egg
  • 1 firm tofu
  • 25 cooking oil
  • seasoning sauce (2 tbsp light soy sauce, ½ tbsp oyster sauce, 1g sugar, 2g chicken bouillon, 5g cornstarch, 60ml water)

Instructions

  1. Add 10g cooking oil to the pan, beat the egg and pour it in.

  9. Stir the tomato paste and tomato together until well combined.
  10. Add the scrambled egg and fried tofu back into the pan.
  11. Gently toss everything together.
  12. In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp light soy sauce, ½ tbsp oyster sauce, 1g sugar, 2g chicken bouillon, 5g cornstarch, and 60ml water until smooth.
  13. Pour the seasoning sauce into the pan.
  14. Toss gently and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
  15. Garnish with chopped scallions before serving. This incredibly appetizing tomato egg tofu is ready to enjoy — pairs perfectly with rice!
