Winter is a great season for warm, hearty food. It is always comforting to me when I am sitting around and hearing the zizi sound of boiling food. I love to share one of my favorite ways to make egg tofu: pan-fry it first, then braise it with minced pork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main role of this recipe is Japanese tofu, also known as egg tofu or tamago tofu<\/strong>, not regular tofu. It has a\u00a0silky-smooth, delicate texture that’s softer and more tender <\/strong>than regular tofu, with a custard-like consistency. You may find it tastes like pudding. When combined with crispy, aromatic fried minced pork, can you imagine the texture contrast between the two?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a humble home-cooked dish with egg tofu as the main ingredient. I also match with 30% fat minced pork. Golden needle mushroom is my favorite bottom ingredient for all simmer dishes. You can replace it with any vegetables, such as broccoli, Chinese broccoli, zucchini,<\/strong> or pumpkin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare Egg Tofu <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Egg tofu usually comes in a plastic tube because it\u2019s so fragile. Don’t peel the packaging off! Instead, slice it right through the middle\u2014plastic and all.<\/strong> Then, gently squeeze both ends, and the tofu will slide right out. Then slice it into thick rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step by step <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cut the egg tofu into small pieces and then coat with cornstarch. Since egg tofu is super fragile and jiggly, adding a bit of cornstarch can help prevent it from breaking apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat a pan and add some oil. Fry the tofu until slightly crispy and brown. Transfer out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add minced pork with some chopped ginger. Fry until the pork becomes completely golden brown, then add oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Combine well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place some mushrooms or any other vegetables you want in the serving pot, add the pan-fried tofu first, and then top with minced pork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add 1 cup of water, cover, and simmer for 3 minutes. Sprinkle some chopped green onions before serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
