2. Infuse the Flavors: Add the sliced galangal and bay leaves to the skillet. Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the spices release their aroma.

3. Cook the Egg: Push the aromatics to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten egg into the empty side and scramble it gently until it’s half-cooked.

4. Add the Tofu and Vegetables: Incorporate the diced tofu and sliced carrots into the skillet. Stir well to combine with the egg and aromatics.

5. Add Greens and Seasonings: Toss in the chopped mustard greens and add just enough water to create a light steam. Season with salt and seasoning to taste. Add the chopped tomato and stir until the tomato begins to soften and blend into the mixture.

6. Finish and Serve: Once the mustard greens are wilted and tender, and the tofu is heated through, remove the skillet from the heat. Discard the bay leaves and galangal slices before serving.
