Pan-Fried Egg Tofu With Chopped Cilantro

Rich and fragrant egg tofu slices are pan fried until golden brown. Double the recipe to serve 4 to 6 people. You'll want to finish it within 10 minutes of pan frying because it won't be crispy as leftovers the day after.

  • If the tofu starts to splatter, partially cover the frying pan with a lid. Leave a gap to allow the steam to escape so the egg tofu can get crispy.
