Ingredients

soft tofu 3 blocks (or 2 with firm tofu)

soy sauce 15 g

cooking wine 5 g

MSG 2 g

fine salt 3 g

minced scallion 2.5 g

minced ginger 2.5 g

sesame oil 100 g (about 80 g used)

Instructions

Step 1

Place the wok over high heat until hot, pour in 25 g of sesame oil, and heat to 60–70% hot. Add the tofu, break it apart and crumble it with a spatula, and stir-fry for 5 to 6 minutes. Watch the heat carefully and keep adding oil as you go (about 60 g in total), letting the oil slowly soak into the tofu.

Step 2

When the tofu has become fine crumbs, the moisture has evaporated, and the color turns golden, add the minced scallion, minced ginger, and salt, and stir-fry for another 2 minutes. Finally add the soy sauce, cooking wine, MSG, and the remaining 10 g of sesame oil, stir well, and serve.
