Ingredients

  • 1 block of tofu
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 handful of Napa cabbage (or any other preferred cabbage)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 large red chili (adjust heat to taste)
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 4 shallots
  • Seasoning (Ladaku or similar seasoning mix)
  • Salt
  • Oyster sauce
  • Raja Rasa sauce (or any preferred all-purpose seasoning sauce)
  • Sweet soy sauce (kecap manis or similar)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by thinly slicing the onion, shallots, garlic, and red chili. Cut the carrot into small pieces and dice the tofu into cubes. Chop the Napa cabbage into bite-sized pieces.

  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, shallots, garlic, and red chili. Sauté until the aromatics are fragrant and the onions are translucent.

  3. Cook the Carrots: Add the diced carrots to the pan. Stir-fry until the carrots begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. Add the Tofu: Gently add the tofu cubes to the pan. Stir and cook until the tofu is heated through and starts to brown slightly.

  5. Incorporate the Cabbage: Add the chopped Napa cabbage to the pan. Stir well and cook until the cabbage starts to wilt.

  6. Season the Dish: Season with salt, oyster sauce, Raja Rasa sauce, and a sprinkle of seasoning mix (Ladaku). Adjust the seasoning to your taste.

  7. Finish with Egg: Crack the egg directly into the pan. Stir quickly to scramble the egg and mix it evenly with the other ingredients. Cook until the egg is fully set.

  8. Adjust and Serve: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with rice or as a standalone dish.
