Honey Seared Egg Tofu

Crispy and custardy egg tofu with chili and honey. Serves 4. Make sure you have egg tofu, it's not the same with normal tofu.

Prep

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin
½ teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 (8-ounce) tubes egg tofu, cut into ¾-inch thick slices
1 Fresno chili, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons honey
Steamed rice, for serving

Mix the sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Set aside.

Sear the egg tofu

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the egg tofu in a single layer (work in batches if there isn't enough room in the pan) and fry until golden brown, 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the egg tofu to a serving platter and top with the chili.

Serve

Pour the sauce over the egg tofu and drizzle on the honey. Serve with rice.
