hot plate tofu

Ingredients

2 tube egg tofu (cut rounded and fried)

1 egg (beaten with 1 tbsp water)

½ tsp chopped garlic (I used up to half a bulb of garlic)

Chopped spring onions for garnishing

Minced meat and/or prawns, mushroom etc (add your own variation)

Sauce (combined in a bowl)

1 tsp oyster sauce

2 tsp light soy sauce (decrease a little of the light soy sauce if you prefer less salty)

A dash of white pepper powder

1 ¼ cup water

¾ tsp corn flour

A few drops of sesame oil

A dash of 花雕酒 (optional)

Steps

1. Deep fry the egg tofu with sufficient heated oil. Fry one side till almost golden brown before turning each piece gently to fry the other side, cover the pan but not tightly to brown and crisp the tofu. Thereafter remove and set aside on paper towel.

2. Prepare the sauce. Saute the chopped garlic with 1 tsp of oil until aromatic. Add the minced meat to stirfry for a short while, add in the sauce and wait until it thicken slightly. Cover awhile. Set aside in a bowl.

3. In the heated happycall pan, add in 1-2 tsp oil and make sure it coats the whole of the pan. Pour in the beaten egg mixture spreading over the entire pan.

4. Add in the fried tofu in the middle. Pour in the sauce with the minced meat. A sizzling sound will come. Bring away from heat and place on a wooden base/steel rack. Garnish with chopped spring onions and serve immediately.
