Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing the mustard greens thoroughly, then chop them into bite-sized pieces. Next, cut the tofu into cubes and set aside.
-
-
Fry the Tofu: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Once hot, carefully add the tofu cubes and fry them until they are golden brown on all sides, achieving a slightly crispy exterior. Once cooked, remove the tofu from the skillet and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
-
Slice the Aromatics: While the tofu is frying, prepare your seasonings. Thinly slice the garlic, shallots, bird’s eye chili, and red chili. Dice the tomato as well.
-
Scramble the Egg: In a small bowl, beat the egg until well mixed. In the same skillet used for frying the tofu, add a little more oil if necessary. Pour in the beaten egg and cook, stirring gently to create small curds until the egg is fully cooked. Remove the scrambled egg from the skillet and set aside.
-
Sauté the Seasonings: In the same skillet, add the sliced garlic, shallots, and chilis. Sauté them over medium heat until they are fragrant and the shallots become translucent.
-
Add Mustard Greens: Once the aromatics are aromatic, add the chopped mustard greens to the skillet. Stir well and add a splash of water to help them wilt. Cook until the greens are tender but still vibrant, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
-
Combine Ingredients: After the mustard greens have softened, return the fried tofu and scrambled egg to the skillet. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients.
-
Season the Dish: Pour in the oyster sauce and soy sauce, and add sugar, salt, and Royco seasoning to taste. Mix everything thoroughly, allowing the sauces to coat the vegetables and tofu evenly. Cook for an additional minute to let the flavors meld.
-
Serve: Once the dish is well combined and heated through, remove it from the heat. Serve hot as a main dish with steamed rice or as a side dish to complement your favorite protein.
