This is a commonly seen dish in many Chinese restaurants. Tofu is super easy to make at home and it is very high in nutrients! If you are looking to make just egg tofu, you can omit the spinach. You can also get creative by infusing other ingredients into the tofu mixture!
Beat the eggs with soy milk and add in the seasoning. Sieve the egg mixture and transfer to a steam proof rectangle bowl. Sprinkle chopped spinach over.
Steam at high heat for 15 mins.
Leave the tofu to chill completely before cutting into slices.
Prepare a wok for deep fry. Heat oil to 200C and carefully add in the tofu.
Deep fried till golden brown. Leave on a piece of paper towel to remove the excess oil.
In a saucepan, heat 1 tbsp oil. Add garlic fry till fragrant. Add in shijimei mushrooms and fry for 3 mins.
Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, huatiao and chicken stock in. Simmer for couple mins.
Thicken with corn starch.
Pour the mushroom sauce over the tofu and serve!
Notes
Use UHT soy milk unsweetened
Leave tofu to complete cool before slicing and deep frying
Best to leave tofu overnight in fridge before using them to deep fry
