Steamed and Fried Egg Tofu Bites
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 3 pieces of firm tofu
- 2 stalks of green onions
- 1/2 carrot (optional, if available)
- 1 garlic clove
- A pinch of black pepper
- Salt, to taste
- Seasoning, to taste
- Oil for greasing and frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by finely mincing the garlic clove and grinding the black pepper. If you have a carrot on hand, grate it using a cheese grater. Chop the green onions into small pieces.
-
Prepare Tofu: Using a fork, crumble the firm tofu into small, fine pieces.
-
Mix Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with a fork. Add the minced garlic, ground pepper, salt, and seasoning to the eggs. Stir well to combine.
-
Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the crumbled tofu, chopped green onions, and grated carrot (if using) into the egg mixture. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Prepare Steaming Container: Grease a heatproof steaming container or dish with a small amount of cooking oil to prevent sticking.
-
Steam: Pour the egg and tofu mixture into the prepared container. Steam over medium heat for approximately 15 minutes, or until the egg is fully set and firm.
-
Cool and Slice: Allow the steamed mixture to cool slightly before removing it from the container. Once cooled, cut into bite-sized pieces.
-
Fry: In a separate bowl, whisk the remaining egg and dip each piece of the steamed tofu mixture into the egg coating. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the coated tofu pieces until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
-
Serve: Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve warm as a delicious and crunchy snack or appetizer.
