Ingredients
12 ounces Tofu (silken)2 whole Preserved Duck Eggs (cut into 6 wedges each)
1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
2 whole Green Onions (chopped)
1 whole Red Chili (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce
1⁄2 tablespoon Sesame Oil
1⁄2 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
1 teaspoon Sugar
2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
Directions
- Carefully remove the silken tofu from its packaging and place it on a plate. Drain any excess liquid, and gently pat it with a paper towel to remove extra moisture. Place onto a serving plate then cut into squares.
- Peel the century eggs and cut them into small, bite-sized pieces. Arrange them around or next to the tofu on the plate. Set aside.
- In a small heatproof bowl, add the chopped spring onions, garlic, and chillies.
- Heat the oil in a small pan until it just starts to smoke, then carefully pour it over the aromatics. This instantly cooks them, releasing their fragrance. Give everything a quick stir.
- Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sugar to the bowl with the aromatics and stir well to combine.
- Pour the aromatic sauce over the tofu and century eggs, ensuring everything is well coated. Sprinkle the cilantro on top and serve immediately.
