-
Prepare the Tofu:
Begin by crumbling the tofu into a bowl using a fork, breaking it into small, manageable pieces. -
Mix the Ingredients:
In the same bowl, combine the beaten eggs with the crumbled tofu. Add the ground red chili, finely chopped green onion, and season with salt and mushroom seasoning. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. -
Heat the Pan:
Place a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of cooking oil, just enough to lightly coat the surface. -
Cook the Pancake:
Pour the tofu and egg mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly. Let it cook undisturbed until the bottom starts to firm up and turn golden brown. -
Flip and Finish Cooking:
Carefully flip the pancake over using a spatula and cook the other side until it is fully set and golden brown as well. -
Serve:
Remove the pancake from the pan and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm as a delicious snack or side dish.
Note: If ground red chili is unavailable, you can substitute with sliced fresh red chili or bird’s eye chili to maintain the dish’s spicy kick.
This simple and satisfying recipe combines the creamy texture of tofu with the richness of eggs, making it a versatile addition to any meal. Enjoy the delightful flavors of this traditional Indonesian treat!
