Instructions
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, crack the 2 medium eggs and whisk them until well combined. Set the mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.
-
-
Tofu Preparation: Cut the firm tofu into small cubes, about 1 cm in size, ensuring even cooking.
-
Garlic Preparation: Using a mortar and pestle or a garlic press, finely crush or mince the small clove of garlic to release its fragrant oils.
-
Chop the Green Onion: Thinly slice the green onion, including both the white and green parts, to add a pop of color and flavor to the omelette.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the cubed tofu, minced garlic, and chopped green onion to the whisked eggs. If you are using red chili for a bit of heat, add the sliced chili at this stage as well. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper according to your taste.
-
Cooking the Omelette: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add enough cooking oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, pour in the egg and tofu mixture. Allow it to cook undisturbed for a few minutes until the edges begin to set and the bottom turns golden brown.
-
Flip with Care: Using a spatula, carefully flip the omelette over to cook the other side. This step requires a gentle touch to prevent the omelette from breaking. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until both sides are golden and the egg is fully cooked.
-
Serve: Once cooked, transfer the Telur Dadar Tahu to a serving plate. This delicious omelette can be enjoyed on its own or with a side of steamed rice or fresh vegetables.
Enjoy your homemade Telur Dadar Tahu, a delightful dish that brings a taste of Indonesia to your table, packed with flavor and nutrition! 😋
