Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Tofu 200g
- Eggs 2
- Imitation Crab Sticks 2
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Chopped Green Onions (optional)
Seasonings
- [A] Potato Starch 1 tsp
- [A] Water 100ml
- [A] Soy Sauce 2 tsp
- [A] Sugar 1 tsp
- [A] Sesame Oil 1 tsp
- [A] Chinese Chicken Stock Powder 1/2 tsp
Steps
- In a bowl, dissolve 1 tsp Potato Starch in 100ml Water.
- In a separate bowl, combine 2 tsp Soy Sauce, 1 tsp Sugar, 1 tsp Sesame Oil, and 1/2 tsp Chinese Chicken Stock Powder. Mix well to create the sauce. **【Key Tip!】** By preparing this in advance, it will naturally thicken when poured into the pan, making it easy to make.
- Add 2 Imitation Crab Sticks, shredded, to the pre-mixed sauce (Step 2) and mix.
- In a bowl, place 200g Tofu and mash it into a paste using a whisk or similar tool.
- Add 2 Eggs, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper to the bowl with the mashed tofu. Whisk together and mix well. **【Key Tip!】** Using mashed tofu as a filler makes it voluminous even with a small amount of egg.
- Lightly oil a frying pan and heat over medium heat.
- Pour the tofu and egg mixture (Step 5) into the heated frying pan.
- Stir gently as it cooks. When the edges start to set, push them slightly inward to continue cooking.
- Once the mixture is slightly thickened and lightly cooked throughout, spread it into a 20cm to 22cm circle across the entire frying pan.
- Cover with a lid and steam for 2 minutes over medium heat.
- After steaming for 2 minutes, and when the bottom has browned and the mixture has set, carefully slide it onto a plate.
- Place the frying pan over the plate and flip them together, returning the tofu crab omelet to the frying pan.
- Cook until the other side is also browned. **【Key Tip!】** Even when both sides are well-cooked, the tofu prevents it from becoming tough, resulting in a fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Once browned, slide it onto a plate.
- Clean the frying pan. Re-mix the imitation crab stick and sauce mixture (Step 3), stirring well to prevent the potato starch from settling, then pour it in.
- Stir with a spatula to prevent lumps, and cook until thickened. **【Key Tip!】** Adding sesame oil enhances the Chinese flavor, making it a great match for rice.
- Once thickened, pour the sauce over the tofu crab omelet (Step 14) on the plate.
- Sprinkle with chopped green onions to taste, and it's ready.
- Cut the tofu crab omelet on the plate in half and serve over rice for an even more delicious meal.
