Crispy Tofu

Method8 steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Egg Wash

   准备蛋液

   Beat the Egg to form an egg wash and set aside.

   鸡蛋搅拌形成蛋液放置备用。

   ⏱1 min

   • 💡 Stir as evenly as possible; avoid large clumps of egg white.尽量搅拌均匀，不要有大块蛋白
   
2. 2

   Mix the Sauce

   配置酱料

   Combine 20g Light soy sauce, 10g Oyster sauce, 5g Dark soy sauce, 10g White sugar, 10g Cornstarch, and 200ml Water, stirring until well mixed.

   将20g生抽、10g蚝油、5g老抽、10g白糖、10g玉米淀粉和200ml清水混合均匀。

   ⏱2 min

   • 💡 Cornstarch tends to settle; stir again before adding to the pan.淀粉容易沉淀，入锅前需再次搅拌
   
3. 3

   Slice the Tofu

   豆腐切片

   Cut firm tofu into slices about 1.2cm thick (about 5 slices per person).

   老豆腐切成厚度约1.2cm的片（建议每人5片）。

   ⏱3 min

   • 💡 Uniform thickness ensures even cooking.厚度一致可以保证受热均匀
   
4. 4

   Coat the Tofu

   挂糊处理

   First coat the tofu slices evenly with dry cornstarch, then dip them in the egg wash to coat, and set aside.

   将老豆腐片先均匀粘上一层干淀粉，再浸入蛋液中裹匀，放置备用。

   ⏱5 min

   • 💡 Coating with cornstarch first, then egg wash, creates a sturdier crust.先裹淀粉再裹蛋液能让外皮更牢固
   
5. 5

   Heat the Oil

   热锅烧油

   Heat a pan, add 18ml Cooking oil, and wait 10 seconds for the oil to warm up.

   热锅，锅内放入18ml食用油，等待10秒让油温升高。

   ⏱1 min

   • 💡 Do not overheat the oil, or the egg wash will burn on contact.油温不宜过高，以免蛋液入锅即糊
   
6. 6

   Pan-Fry on Low Heat

   小火煎制

   Arrange the tofu slices evenly in the pan. Pan-fry on low heat until the bottom is golden, then flip and fry until both sides are golden.

   将豆腐片均匀放入锅中铺好，小火煎至底面金黄后翻面，煎至两面金黄。

   ⏱10 min

   • 💡 Flip gently to avoid breaking the crispy crust.翻面时动作要轻，避免弄破脆皮
   
7. 7

   Simmer and Reduce the Sauce

   焖煮收汁

   Pour in the sauce, ensuring each tofu slice is well coated. Cook on high heat for 3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

   倒入酱料，让每块豆腐充分接触酱汁，大火煮3分钟至酱汁浓稠。

   ⏱3 min

   • 💡 Gently shake the pan while reducing to prevent sticking.收汁过程中可以轻轻晃动锅底防止粘连
   
8. 8

   Turn Off the Heat and Plate

   关火出锅

   Once the sauce is thick, turn off the heat and serve on a Plate.

   待汤汁浓稠后关火装盘。
