How to Make It

  • 1

    Pat the tofu dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and cut it into 2cm bite-sized cubes.

  • 2

    Whisk the 3 eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt until well combined and light.

  • 3

    Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick wok or pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  • 4

    Lightly pan-fry the tofu cubes for 3 minutes until they develop a slight golden crust, then carefully remove them.

  • 5

    Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same pan and fry the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  • 6

    Pour in the beaten eggs and gently push them around with a spatula, keeping them soft and curdy, not hard.

  • 7

    Return the tofu cubes to the pan and drizzle with the soy sauce and oyster sauce, tossing everything together gently.

  • 8

    Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately over a bed of warm steamed jasmine rice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tofu Egg Stir-Fry?

Tofu Egg Stir-Fry is a Malaysian stir-fried dish consisting primarily of tofu, eggs, garlic, and savory sauces like soy and oyster sauce. It is commonly served as a quick, nutritious accompaniment to steamed rice during lunch or dinner.

Can I use firm tofu instead?

Yes, firm tofu holds its shape better, but silken tofu provides a much smoother, classic homestyle texture.

How do I prevent the tofu from breaking?

Fry the tofu first separately and be very gentle when tossing it back in with the eggs.

What if the eggs turn too brown?

Keep pushing the eggs gently with a spatula; you want a soft, custard-like texture, not a dark omelet.

Can I add vegetables?

Absolutely, baby bok choy or sliced carrots are excellent additions if added when frying the garlic.
