Indonesian Tofu Egg Delight with Pecel Sauce

Tahu Telur Recipe: A Savory Indonesian Delight

Ingredients:

• 2 blocks of firm tofu
• 1 egg
• Salt to taste
• Optional: seasoning powder
• Oil for frying
• A handful of bean sprouts
• Chopped cilantro or green onions
• Fried shallots
• Pecel sauce
• Water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bean Sprouts:

   • Rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly. Blanch them briefly in boiling water to soften slightly, then drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Tofu:

   • Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. Heat oil in a pan and fry the tofu pieces until they are half-cooked. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3. Prepare the Vegetables:

   • Chop the cilantro or green onions finely.

4. Prepare the Pecel Sauce:

   • Dilute the pecel sauce with a small amount of warm water to achieve a pourable consistency.

5. Make the Egg Mixture:

   • In a bowl, beat the egg and season it with a pinch of salt. If desired, add a touch of seasoning powder for extra flavor.

6. Combine Tofu and Egg:

   • Add the half-cooked tofu to the egg mixture and stir gently to coat the tofu evenly.

7. Cook the Egg Mixture:

   • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the tofu and egg mixture, spreading it evenly. Cook like an omelet, flipping carefully until both sides are golden and the egg is fully set.

8. Plating:

   • Place the tofu omelet on a serving plate. Spread the diluted pecel sauce over the top. Garnish with the blanched bean sprouts, fried shallots, and chopped cilantro or green onions.

9. Optional Additions:

   • For additional flavor and texture, consider adding slices of cucumber, shredded cabbage, and crispy crackers on the side.
