Cooking tips

  • Perilla oil has a low smoke point and burns easily when used alone, so always mix it with vegetable oil to prevent burning and achieve a clean, sweet, and rich flavor.
  • To prevent the tofu from breaking apart during simmering, make sure to fry it thoroughly on both sides until crisp on the outside while keeping the inside tender and moist.
  • If oyster sauce is unavailable, substitute with tuna sauce. If neither is available, increase the soy sauce by 1 tablespoon to boost umami flavor.
  • For the best taste, serve the dish with the yolk intact—do not break it open. Mix the soft-boiled yolk with the tofu and spicy broth and enjoy it all together with rice.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to elevate their basic tofu stew into a rich, thick, and moist gourmet side dish.
  • Fans of soft tofu with spicy sauce and creamy soft-boiled egg yolks, perfect for mixing into rice.
  • Home cooks who want to quickly create a main-course-quality side dish using common fridge staples like tofu and eggs.
