Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture
    Begin by cracking the eggs into a bowl and whisking them until well combined. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor and mix thoroughly.

  2. Prepare the Tofu
    Cut the tofu into small cubes, about 1-inch pieces, to ensure even cooking. Once cut, gently fold the tofu into the whisked eggs, ensuring each piece is coated.

  3. Fry the Tofu and Egg Mixture
    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil. Pour the tofu and egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a large pancake. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip to cook the other side until it is also golden and set.

  4. Prepare the Bean Sprouts
    While the tofu and egg mixture is cooking, rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly under cold water. Soak them in warm water for about 3 minutes to soften, then drain well.

  5. Make the Chili Sauce
    In a mortar and pestle or food processor, blend the bird’s eye chilies, red chili, and garlic into a smooth paste. Combine this mixture with soy sauce to taste, adjusting the spiciness as preferred.

  6. Combine and Serve
    Toss the prepared bean sprouts with the chili soy sauce mixture to create a vibrant salad. Once the tofu and egg pancake is cooked, serve it topped with the chili bean sprout salad.

  7. Enjoy
    Your Tahu Telor is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve warm for breakfast or as a light meal any time of the day.

This dish not only delights the palate but also showcases the richness of Indonesian flavors, making it a truly special addition to any meal. Enjoy the balance of textures and tastes in this delightful Tahu Telor!
