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

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

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately over a bed of warm steamed jasmine rice.
Frequently Asked Questions
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?+
Lower the heat before adding the eggs; 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.
