Crispy Indonesian Tofu with Egg Dip

Ingredients

• 1 block of firm tofu (cut into slices, not too thin)
• 1 egg
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)
• Olive oil or canola oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Tofu: Begin by rinsing the tofu under running water to clean it. Pat the tofu slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season the tofu with a pinch of salt, ensuring all surfaces are lightly coated.

2. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, crack the egg and beat it until well combined. Season the beaten egg with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

3. Coat the Tofu: Dip each tofu slice into the seasoned egg mixture, allowing the tofu to soak up the egg. Ensure the tofu is fully coated with the egg mixture for a delicious, crispy result.

4. Heat the Oil: Heat a small amount of olive or canola oil in a frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be just enough to cover the bottom of the pan, similar to how you would prepare an omelet.

5. Fry the Tofu: Once the oil is hot, carefully place the egg-coated tofu slices into the pan. Fry the tofu over medium heat, turning occasionally, until each side is golden brown and crispy.

6. Drain and Serve: Once the tofu is cooked to your desired crispiness, remove it from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Serve warm as a tasty snack or side dish.
