Instructions

1. Prepare the Base:

   • Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant and golden brown.

2. Create the Sauce:

   • Add the sweet soy sauce, flavor enhancer, ground black pepper, sugar, and salt to the pan. Stir well to combine the flavors. Pour in a little water and adjust the seasoning according to your taste. Let the sauce simmer gently until it reaches your desired flavor profile.

3. Add the Main Ingredients:

   • Gently place the hard-boiled eggs and fried tofu slices into the pan. Allow them to cook in the sauce for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the sauce penetrate the tofu and eggs.

4. Finish and Serve:

   • Once the eggs and tofu have absorbed the flavors, remove them from the heat. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fried shallots for a crispy, flavorful garnish.
