Langkah-langkah
-
Prepare the crispy tofu (if using) and sauce. See instructions below.
-
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large non-stick sauté pan over medium heat. Add the whisked eggs and let then cooked undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until they are mostly set and form an omelet. Flip the omelet and cook for 1 more minute on the second side. Then transfer the omelet to a separate cutting board, and roughly chop it into small, thin pieces. Set aside.
-
Return the pan to the stove, and increase heat to high heat. Add 1 more tablespoon of oil and heat until shimmering. Then add the mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked and lightly browned. Add the coleslaw and half of the scallions. Saute for 2-3 minutes more, or until the cabbage has softened to your liking.
-
Add in the cooked tofu, 2/3 of the sauce, half of the green onions. Toss until combined.
-
Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
-
Serve over flour tortillas, lettuce cups, rice, or quinoa. Drizzle with the remaining sauce, and sprinkle with your desired garnishes. Then serve warm and enjoy!
-
Slice your block of tofu into 1/4-inch-thick slabs. Lay some paper towels or a clean tea towel on a large flat surface, like a cutting board, and lay the slabs in a single layer on top of the paper towels. Cover with another layer of paper towels. Then place a second cutting board on top of the tofu, and stack a bunch of heavy cans or pots or whatever you can safely balance on top of the cutting board. The idea is to put a lot of pressure/weight on the tofu, which will help the excess water to press out into the paper towels. Let the tofu drain for at least 15-30 minutes.
-
Once the tofu is ready to go, slice it into your desired shapes. (I made thin strips, which you can see in the photos above.) Add the tofu to a large mixing bowl, sprinkle it evenly with the cornstarch, salt and pepper. Then toss until the tofu is evenly coated in the cornstarch mixture.
-
Heat oil in a large non-stick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and arrange it in a single layer. (You may need to do this in two batches if your pan isn’t large enough for the tofu to all fit in a single layer.) Cook the tofu undisturbed until it is browned on the bottom side, about 2 minutes. Flip the tofu and cook until the second side is browned, about 1-2 minutes. Give the whole mixture a gentle toss and cook for 1 more minute, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is browned to your liking.
-
Transfer the tofu to a clean plate and set aside until ready to use.
-
Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl until combined.
