Back with another 10-minute dinner, let’s make Tofu and Eggs. This is one of the most underrated high-protein combos. The silky tofu paired with rich, fluffy eggs is perfect on top of a bowl of hot rice. This easy and delicious meal is a mix of classic Chinese home cooking 雞蛋抱豆腐 with a Japanese rice bowl inspired sauce. It’s definitely been one of my go-to dinners this month. I promise when you try it, you will love it too! Quick, easy, and healthy, Tofu and Eggs is the perfect light meal for any weeknight dinner!

Instructions

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, dashi powder, sugar, and water until everything is combined.
Pan-fry the tofu in a non-stick pan for 2-3 minutes on medium heat.
Drizzle in the egg and let it set for around 30 seconds. Gently mix the egg to ensure everything cooks evenly, but make sure not to scramble the eggs.
Pour in the sauce all over the tofu and eggs, and let it cook for another 2 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked.
Serve on top of hot rice and garnish with green onion and homemade chili oil if you like it spicy.

Notes

Since my tofu and eggs are inspired by Gyudon and Katsudon, the runniness of the eggs will depend on your own liking. I like mine to be slightly runny as I love the texture on top of my rice, but if you prefer your eggs to be more solid, you can increase the cooking time.
