Ingredients

2. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pan, add the ground spices: shallots, garlic, and black pepper. Sauté until the mixture becomes fragrant and the shallots turn translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the pan with the sautéed spices. Stir gently, cooking until the eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny.

4. Incorporate the Tofu: Add the fried tofu back into the pan, mixing it gently with the eggs. Allow the mixture to cook together for another minute.

5. Add Cabbage and Seasonings: Fold in the thinly sliced cabbage, followed by soy sauce, seasoning, sugar, salt, and a splash of water. Stir to combine all ingredients and ensure the cabbage begins to wilt. Adjust the flavors to your liking, adding more soy sauce or seasoning as needed.

6. Finish Cooking: Continue to cook for an additional few minutes, until the cabbage is tender and the dish is heated through.

7. Serve: Once everything is well-combined and cooked to your preference, remove from heat. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy your Orek Tahu Telur hot, as a main dish or side.
