Salted Egg Pan Fried Tofu with Garlic Chives

Recipe

2 pieces firm tofu, cut into 8 pieces.
Some plain flour
1 egg, beaten
1 salted egg yolk, steamed with a few drops of sesame oil for 5 minutes
A small bunch of garlic chives (韭菜), cut into 1.5" length
4 to 5 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 red chili, chopped
Soy sauce to taste

 

Method:

1) Lightly dust the tofu pieces with plain flour and dip in beaten egg.

2) Pan-fry the tofu in a lightly-oiled pan till both sides are golden brown.

3) Mash up the steamed salted egg yolk. Heat up a wok over medium heat and add a little oil. When the wok is hot, add in the chopped garlic, followed with the mashed salted egg yolk. Stir to melt the salted egg yolk till it becomes very foamy. Add in the pan fried tofu and add in a little water (the water helps to combine the ingredients and flavour together). Add the garlic chives and season with soy sauce. Cover and let it cook for a while till the gravy dries up and absorb into the tofu pieces.

4) Add in the chopped red chili and dish up.
