Cooking tips 💡

  • Coating the tofu with starch and pan-frying it helps the sauce adhere better and gives a chewy texture.
  • Beef brisket can become tough if overcooked, so add it just before adding the sauce or cook it briefly.
  • Breaking the egg yolk just before eating and mixing it into the rice makes the dish even more soft and savory.
