This soy braised (which is really just a nicer way of saying boiled) tofu and eggs dish takes one pan and under 15 minutes to make.
The tofu is simmered in an umami-rich sauce, soaking up all that flavor, before being finished with soft eggs. Very yum.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Slice the tofu into even pieces, about 0.25" thick.
-
Beat the eggs in a small bowl.
-
Place the tofu in a pan, along with the water, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, garlic, scallion whites, and Thai red chili. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
-
Once simmering, cook for 3 minutes, then carefully flip the tofu pieces over and continue cooking until the liquid reduces, leaving a shallow layer in the pan.
-
Lower the heat to medium. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the tofu. Let cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, or until barely set.
-
Drizzle on the sesame oil and season with salt and pepper.
-
Garnish with scallion greens and serve with rice.
