Egg-Fried Tofu
Another simple, quick, and tasty tofu recipe taught to me by my wife, who is Korean. The dipping sauce described is quite spicy, so temper the ingredients to your taste. Eat with chopsticks.
Ingredients
Dipping Sauce:
Directions
-
Slice tofu into 12 equal rectangular pieces. Sprinkle salt on both sides of tofu slices.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep saucepan over medium heat.
-
Dip tofu slices into bowl of beaten egg and fry in hot oil until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.
-
Mix soy sauce, green onions, chile peppers, vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl. Dip fried tofu into dipping sauce.
Cook's Note:
Korean-style soy sauce works best in this recipe.
Editor's Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
