Main Ingredients- 1 block Tofu (approx. 300g)
- 100g Spam (half of a small can)
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 Onion
- 1 stalk Green Onion
Sauce- 1 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 50ml Water
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 50ml Water
- Pinch of Black Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes, about 2cm each. Place the cubed tofu in a large bowl.
Step 2
Crack the 2 eggs into a separate bowl and whisk them well.
Step 3
Pour the whisked eggs over the tofu in the bowl. Gently shake the bowl to coat the tofu evenly with the egg mixture, being careful not to break the tofu pieces.
Step 4
Peel the onion, rinse it, and finely chop it into small pieces (about 5mm). Slice the green onion, separating the white and green parts.
Step 5
Open the Spam can and remove the contents. To reduce its saltiness and greasiness, briefly dip the Spam in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove it immediately.
Step 6
After draining the Spam, use the back of a knife (knife’s dull side) to mash it. If you prefer a chewier texture, you can also chop it into small pieces.
Step 7
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the egg-coated tofu and fry it until golden brown on both sides, flipping as needed. It should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Step 8
Transfer the nicely fried tofu to a separate plate and let it cool slightly.
Step 9
Add a little more oil to the same pan. Add the chopped onion and the white parts of the green onion, and stir-fry over medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 10
Add the mashed Spam to the pan and stir-fry with the onion and green onion for another minute over medium heat, allowing the ingredients to meld together.
Step 11
Once the onion starts to turn translucent, create a space in the center of the pan.
Step 12
In the cleared space, add 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 Tbsp sugar, 1/2 Tbsp gochujang, and a pinch of black pepper.
Step 13
Stir-fry the sauce ingredients for about 30 seconds to create a flavorful base, being careful not to burn them.
Step 14
Combine the fried onion, green onion, and Spam with the sauce in the pan, and stir-fry everything together so the flavors coat the ingredients.
Step 15
Pour in 50ml of water and stir to dissolve the sauce.
Step 16
Return the pre-fried tofu to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and gently stir-fry, allowing the sauce to penetrate the tofu evenly.
Step 17
When the sauce has evenly coated everything and looks delicious, it’s almost done.
Step 18
Finally, add a small amount of the green parts of the sliced green onion and drizzle with 1 Tbsp of sesame oil for extra aroma.
Step 19
Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds, turn off the heat, and gently mix everything together to finish.
Step 20
Serve the finished Spam Tofu Egg Stir-Fry in a nice dish, and your delicious meal is ready!
