I cooked braised egg tofu with minced chicken meat and dried Shiitake Mushrooms for dinner yesterday. I bought five(5) tubes of egg tofu from MYDIN supermarket which cost me only (Ringgit Malaysia)๐Ÿ‘‰RM1.00 each. If you've never tried this dish before, for your information, egg tofu is made from eggs, soy milk and water and the texture is very soft, so you have to be extra careful and gentle when come to handling. This dish is not that difficult to prepare and it is well liked by my family and friends and we normally pair it with steamed white rice and other side dishes. The best way to cook egg tofu is to get it pan fried(Note : "NO" need to coat with flour) in order to make the exterior crispy and a bit firm before mixing it with meat or vegetables. Here are the ingredients;
