When we first tried this dish at BBQ Chan in Bukit Tinggi (see post here), we knew we had to learn how to cook it.
It’s super simple and delicious – fried eggs served on a bed of soft tofu then doused in soy sauce and Chinese wine gravy.
After a few attempts, we believe our sauce is quite close to BBQ Chan’s. The sauce should have a nice soy sauce punch blended with sweetness from the cooking wine.
It’s simple:-
1. Prepare sauce
2. Fry egg and steam tofu
3. Combine and serve!
Fry your eggs to your desired “done-ness” – Max likes his eggs with frayed burnt edges and a runny yolk while Ming likes her whites to remain soft and melty.
The punchiness of the sauce really complements the neutral taste profile of the tofu and fried eggs. Cook this with another veggie dish – and dinner is ready!
