Introduction
This Japanese-style egg tofu recipe is simple to make. The tofu is coated in starch and pan-fried until golden and crispy, while remaining soft and juicy on the inside.

Step 1
Cut the Japanese tofu packaging in the middle, gently squeeze the tofu out, and slice into 1.5 to 2 cm thick rounds.
Step 2
Prepare the ingredients: cut the bell peppers into small chunks, mince the garlic, and chop the green onions.
Step 3
Prepare the sauce: in a bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, a little cornstarch, and half a bowl of water.
Step 4
Evenly coat the tofu slices in beaten egg, then dredge them in cornstarch.
Step 5
Heat oil in a pan. Once hot, add the coated tofu and fry over medium-low heat until both sides are golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.

Important Notes
Japanese tofu has a very delicate texture; handle it gently when slicing and coating to prevent it from breaking. 💡
Do not rush to flip the tofu while frying. Wait until one side has set and turned golden-brown to ensure the skin doesn't tear. ⚠️
In the final step, toss the tofu quickly and remove from heat immediately to prevent the crispy coating from softening, which would ruin the texture. 🔥
