Procedure1. Cut Egg Tofu to 1 inch thick pieces. Deep fry in oil and set aside. To get even browning, make sure you have lots of oil in the wok (80% Oil 20% tofu) and heat to at least 170 degrees C. Once you put the tofu into the oil, dont touch it for at least 1-2 minutes then gently swirl it around and remove from oil once it is golden brown and drain.

2. Heat wok till it smokes, turn off heat and add oil. Turn up the heat again and fry the ginger, garlic and spring onion (white part) till fragrant. Add minced meat and fry till cooked. Add oyster sauce, chilli bean paste, soy sauce and 1 cup water and add the veggies. Simmer till vegetables are cooked and water is reduced. Adjust to taste with sugar and salt. Thicken with cornflour and set aside.

3. Heat hot plate till very hot. Brush on some oil and add the egg. Arrange the tofu onto the hotplate and add the sauce. Sprinkle some pepper and chopped green onions and serve!
