- 15 ml Light soy sauce (生抽) — per serving
  - Tip: Use high-quality brewed light soy sauce.

  - Tip: Essential for boosting umami flavor.
- 3 ml Dark soy sauce (老抽) — per serving

## Tools

Wok, Cleaver / chef's knife, Cutting board, Small bowl, Frying pan

## Method (3 steps)

1. **Pan-fry the Japanese Egg Tofu** — Slice the Japanese egg tofu. Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a wok over low heat and pan-fry the tofu until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.
   - Duration: 8 min
   - Tip: Avoid flipping the tofu too often, as it can easily break apart.
   - Tip: Pan-fry over low heat for even browning.

2. **Prepare the Aromatics and Sauce** — Mince the garlic. Finely chop the bird's eye chili. In a small bowl, mix light soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and 100ml water to make the sauce. Set aside.
   - Duration: 3 min
   - Tip: Stir the sauce well to ensure the sugar dissolves.

3. **Braise and Reduce the Sauce** — Heat cooking oil in a wok. Once the oil is hot, add the bird's eye chili and minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the enoki mushrooms and stir-fry until softened. Lay the pan-fried tofu on top of the mushrooms, pour in the prepared sauce, cover, and braise for 5 minutes. Finally, increase the heat to reduce the sauce.
   - Duration: 10 min
   - Tip: Make sure to stir-fry the enoki mushrooms until softened before adding the tofu.
   - Tip: Do not reduce the sauce too much; leaving some sauce makes it go better with rice.

## Tips

- Make sure to stir-fry the enoki mushrooms until softened.
- Avoid stir-frying the tofu too much, as it can easily break apart.
- For a thicker sauce, you can add a little cornstarch slurry at the end.
