Pan-fried Tofu with Egg and Chive
Description
Pan-fried Tofu with Egg and Chive involves coating thick tofu slices with cornstarch, then dipping them in a mixture of beaten egg, finely chopped Chinese chives, salt, and black pepper. This coating creates a savory herb-flavored egg crust that crisps up when pan-fried in oil until both sides are golden brown.
The tofu pieces turn slightly crispy on the outside while remaining soft inside. The dipping sauce combines sesame oil, light soy sauce, stock or water, finely chopped green onion, fresh Thai pepper, chopped coriander, and toasted sesame seeds, adding layers of umami, herbaceousness, heat, and nuttiness that complement the mild tofu and chive flavor.
