- 1
Pat 400g of tofu dry and cut into 1cm cubes to ensure they cook evenly without releasing too much moisture.

Heat 20ml oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat and sauté the tofu cubes until golden brown.
- 3
In a bowl, whisk 3 eggs with finely chopped shallots, garlic, chili, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp salt until well combined.
- 4
Add the golden tofu cubes directly into the egg mixture and let them soak for 30 seconds to absorb the flavors.
- 5
Add the remaining 30ml oil to the hot pan, ensuring it coats the bottom completely.

Pour the egg and tofu mixture into the pan, spreading the tofu evenly with a spatula.
- 7
Cook on medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes until the edges are crispy and the center is set.
- 8
Flip carefully using a large plate, then cook the other side for 2 minutes until golden brown.
