Instructions

Prepare the Aromatics:
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots, garlic, and red chilies. Sauté until the mixture becomes aromatic and the shallots are translucent. -
Cook the Egg:
Crack the egg into the pan and scramble it lightly with the aromatics. Allow the egg to cook and set slightly, but keep it soft and slightly runny. -
Add Tofu:
Gently add the tofu pieces to the pan. Stir-fry with the egg and aromatics until the tofu begins to brown slightly and is heated through. -
Add Water:
Pour in about a quarter cup of water (a small measuring cup) to help create a bit of sauce. Stir well to combine. -
Incorporate Bean Sprouts:
Add the bean sprouts to the pan. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the bean sprouts are just tender but still crisp and the water has mostly evaporated. -
Season the Dish:
Season with salt, sugar, ground black pepper, and optional flavor enhancer to taste. Stir in the sweet soy sauce, ensuring all ingredients are well combined. -
Adjust and Serve:
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Once everything is cooked through and well-seasoned, remove from heat. -
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with sliced green onions if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
