Recipe

Crush the tofu with the back of a knife or your hands, then place it on a kitchen towel and press out excess moisture.
Slice both white and green parts of the green onion thinly, and finely chop the carrot into rice-sized pieces.
Whisk 2 eggs with a pinch of salt to make an egg mixture.
Add the crushed tofu and 2 pinches of salt to a dry non-stick pan without oil.
Turn on the heat and set to medium-low. Stir the tofu continuously for about 4 minutes, frying it to evaporate moisture.
When the tofu becomes crumbly and takes on an ivory color, add the chopped carrot and stir for 30 seconds until sweetness develops.
Push the cooked ingredients to one side of the pan, pour the prepared egg mixture into the empty space, and scramble it continuously until moist and fluffy. Then mix it evenly with the tofu mixture.
Pour 1 tablespoon of soy sauce along the edge of the pan and let it bubble once before quickly tossing everything together to enhance umami.
Add the thinly sliced green onion and stir gently for just 20 seconds to preserve its fresh aroma, then turn off the heat.
Finish by adding 1 tablespoon of sesame seed powder, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 3 pinches of red pepper powder. Mix well and serve in a bowl.

Press moisture from crushed tofu, then prepare the vegetables and egg mixture.
Fry tofu and carrot in a dry pan, then separately scramble the eggs and combine them.
Add soy sauce for umami, then finish with green onion, sesame oil, sesame seed powder, and red pepper powder.

Cooking tips

Do not mix the tofu and egg mixture from the start—doing so will make it sticky. Keep them separate and scramble the eggs separately for better texture and taste.
Always add green onion at the final step and stir only briefly to preserve its fresh aroma.
Fry the tofu thoroughly in a dry pan without oil to eliminate its characteristic fishy smell and bring out its rich, nutty flavor.
The sesame seed powder mixed with sesame oil adds a nutty richness that enhances the crumbly texture of the tofu, improving the overall satisfaction of a typically unsatisfying diet meal.
