Chinese dish ready in 25 min using easy-level technique. Simple enough for weeknight cooking.
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| tomato | 1 as needed |
| tomato paste | 50ml |
| egg | 1 as needed |
| firm tofu | 1 as needed |
| cooking oil | 25 as needed |
| seasoning sauce (2 tbsp light soy sauce, ½ tbsp oyster sauce, 1g sugar, 2g chicken bouillon, 5g cornstarch, 60ml water) |

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

Scramble until cooked through, then set aside.

Cut the firm tofu into small pieces (the smaller the better — they soak up more flavor!).

Add another 10g cooking oil to the pan and pan-fry the tofu pieces until golden on both sides.

Set aside.

Blanch the tomato in boiling water, then peel and cut into small pieces.

Add 5g cooking oil to the pan and stir-fry the tomato for 1 minute.

Add 50g tomato paste (I use Mutti — it’s rich and not overly sweet).

Stir the tomato paste and tomato together until well combined.

Add the scrambled egg and fried tofu back into the pan.

Gently toss everything together.

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.

Pour the seasoning sauce into the pan.

Toss gently and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.

Garnish with chopped scallions before serving. This incredibly appetizing tomato egg tofu is ready to enjoy — pairs perfectly with rice!

Add chili oil or chili crisp to taste, or include dried red chilies during cooking. A dash of Sichuan peppercorn adds a different kind of heat.
