Soft Tofu with Silky Egg Sauce (20 Minutes)

Soft Tofu with Silky Egg Sauce

Welcome to Day 19 of Cooking 20 Minute Dinner for 21 Days! ATTENTION PARENTS!! Today we are making one of my favorite comfort foods – Soft Tofu with Silky Egg Sauce that I KNOW your kids will LOVE. It is easy to make, healthy, and super affordable as well! Silky Egg Sauce is the star of the dish; it instantly elevates the stew and coats every rice grain with the sauce. Soft Tofu with Silky Egg Sauce is a vegetarian dish that even meat-lovers will love! 

Soft Tofu with Silky Egg Sauce

To be honest, I dont know where I learned how to make Soft Tofu with Silky Egg Sauce because I have never seen this dish at restaurants, but I’ve been making it for the past 5 years, and it is still one of my favorites. The tofu soaks in all the ultra-smooth gravy sauce, and the peas and corn add sweetness and texture to the dish. The egg makes the gravy extra silky and also adds richness and depth to the sauce as well. Whenever I make Soft Tofu with Silky Egg Sauce, I prepare enough rice because I know me and my fiance I will always fight for the last bite! 

Soft Tofu with Silky Egg Sauce

I promised that your kids would love my Soft Tofu with Silky Egg Sauce because I’ve made it for one of my super picky eater nieces once, and she fell in love! Her mom swears she’s never seen her eat that much rice before. It is a great way to get your kids to eat vegetables, and this dish also meal preps well to eat for lunch the next day as well! 

Soft Tofu with Silky Egg Sauce

If you don’t like tofu, you can also add shredded chicken, shrimp, or thin slices of beef as well! However, I promise, this dish may change your mind about tofu; just make sure it’s soft or silk tofu for the best texture.

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
