Instructions
-
Take the tofu out of the package and slice it into thick rectangles. Sprinkle salt on both sides of the tofu slices.
-
Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.
-
Coat all sides of the tofu slices with cornstarch, ensuring each piece is well-coated. The starch will create a crispy exterior when fried. Then, dip the tofu slices in the beaten eggs.
-
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated tofu pieces in a single layer in the pan. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can prevent proper browning.
-
Fry the tofu pieces until the bottom turns golden brown. Carefully flip them over and let the other side brown as well. Move them to a plate.
-
In the pan, leave 1 tablespoon (13 grams) of oil, then stir-fry the ginger and green onions for 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Put the tofu back into the pot, pour in the sauce, and cook until the sauce thickens. Flip the tofu slices and simmer for a short while. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and enjoy!
