Paddy

This is a beloved comfort dish inspired by Lovepanda's mom! The sweet and savory braised fried tofu combined with a perfectly soft-boiled egg is absolutely irresistible. It's perfect for bento boxes too!

Directions

  1. 1

    Blanch the 2 fried tofu sheets in boiling water to remove excess oil, then cut in half and gently open the center to form pouches.

  2. 2

    Crack the 4 eggs into a bowl and carefully pour one egg into each tofu pouch. Secure with toothpicks to hold the shape.

  3. 3

    Add all the ★ seasonings to a pot and bring to a boil. Gently place the egg-filled tofu pouches into the broth and simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes until the flavors infuse.

Tips

For best results, simmer gently over low heat for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the tofu pouches.
