Fried Egg Tofu

Fried Egg Tofu

Adapted from an internet recipe.
This is a new one for me as I have only seen egg tofu used in is soups, so I look forward to testing this out.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Course Appetizer, Side
Cuisine Chinese
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 small tubes egg tofu, 105-120 gram tubes, (3.5-4 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • sweet chili sauce, as desired
  • 1 spring onion, green part only, sliced

Instructions
 

  • Cut off the end of the tofu tube that looks like a spout (that is actually where the tube is filled), gently squeeze the other end of the tube the tofu will slide right out. Cut into 1 inch thick slices, and slice a bit off the blunt end to make it flat as well. Repeat with the other tube.
  • Place the slices on several paper towels to drain off some of the moisture. Leave on the paper towels for about 10 minutes. Then dry the side facing up with a paper towel, and dry the outer edge as well.
  • Heat the oil in a non stick pan on medium high heat. Place the cornstarch in a small bowl, coat each slice on the flat sides with cornstarch.
  • Add about 2 or so tablespoons of sweet chili sauce to a serving plate and spread it around a bit, sprinkle some of the sliced spring onion greens on top of the sauce.
  • Fry the slices for 1-2 minutes on each side or until nicely browned.
  • Place the slices on the serving tray, drizzle with additional sweet chili sauce, and sprinkle on the remaining spring onion greens.
  • Serve as a appetizer or as a side dish.

Notes

Low cost per serving, one tube of egg tofu is about 10 Baht.
