Recipe 🍳

Place the whole block of firm tofu (500g) into a dry, unoiled pan.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt evenly, then use a spatula to mash and spread the tofu while heating.
Continue to stir-fry the tofu until all the moisture evaporates and it becomes crumbly.
Set aside about two-thirds of the moisture-free tofu to use as a topping later.
Add half a bowl of rice to the remaining tofu in the pan, along with 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and 1 tbsp oyster sauce to make an all-purpose deopbap sauce.
Stir-fry well until the rice, remaining tofu, and seasonings are evenly mixed, then transfer to a bowl as the base.
Generously top with the reserved moisture-free tofu.
Top with a generous amount of finely chopped chives, place an egg yolk or fried egg in the center, and sprinkle with a little black pepper to finish.

In a dry pan, add the tofu and salt, mash with a spatula, and stir-fry until crumbly and moisture-free.
Set aside some of the stir-fried tofu, then add half a bowl of rice, sugar, toasted sesame seeds, and oyster sauce to the remaining tofu and stir-fry together.
Put the stir-fried rice in a bowl, top with the reserved tofu, chopped chives, egg yolk, and black pepper to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

Using firm tofu for pan-frying, rather than soft tofu for stews, is better for achieving a crumbly texture as it has less moisture.
If you're on a diet and find sugar burdensome, you can substitute it with an equal amount of stevia or allulose.
If you don't have chives, you can finely chop some green onions or scallions and sprinkle them on top for extra flavor.
