Recipe

Remove excess water from the tofu by gently pressing and rinsing it, then place it on a kitchen towel to thoroughly dry the surface, reducing frying time.
Slice the green onion 15cm into thin strips, and finely chop the carrot 50g uniformly.
Place the dried tofu directly into a dry pan over no heat, then use a spoon to mash it thoroughly and smoothly.
Sprinkle three pinches of salt over the mashed tofu, turn the heat to medium, and stir continuously with a spatula for about 3 minutes, drying out the moisture until the mixture becomes fluffy and crisp.
Once most of the moisture has evaporated, create a well in the center, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then pour in the chopped green onions and stir evenly to distribute the aroma.
When the green onion fragrance begins to rise gently, add the finely chopped carrot and mix thoroughly with the tofu, lightly stir-frying until well blended.
Clear a space on one side of the pan, crack in 1 egg, sprinkle a pinch of salt, and quickly scramble with chopsticks to form soft scrambled eggs.
Once the egg is partially cooked and set, combine it with all ingredients, drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, then place 1 tablespoon of soy sauce along the edge of the pan and gently sauté to infuse flavor and a hint of char.
Finally, evenly sprinkle two pinches of pepper to eliminate any raw taste, give one last quick stir, and serve fluffily onto a plate.

Drain the tofu and mash it in the pan; prepare green onions and carrots by chopping them finely.
Without oil, stir-fry the tofu with three pinches of salt until dry and fluffy.
Add olive oil, green onions, and carrots, stir-fry, then incorporate the scrambled egg and finish with soy sauce, sesame oil, and pepper.

Cooking tips

To minimize extra washing, recommend mashing the drained tofu directly in the pan with a spoon right away.
Adding olive oil before the tofu is fully dry may make it sticky—wait until the tofu is completely fluffy before adding oil and green onions for a rice-like texture.
This finished dish is low in calories and highly filling, making it an excellent one-bowl meal replacement.
