Ingredients:

2 eggs (beat the eggs just before cooking)
2 pieces of Firm Tofu
2 tomatoes
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Sea salt, black pepper, and light brown sugar to taste
3 clove garlic, some ginger, and 1 green onion
1/2 cup water

Method:

  1. Slice 2 firm tofu into cubes, soak them in warm salt water for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Dice 2 tomatoes into cubes.
  3. Chop 1 green onion, 3 garlic cloves, and some ginger.
  4. Add sea salt, black pepper, soy sauce, and light brown sugar to taste to make the stir-fry sauce.
  5. Beat 2 eggs in a bowl, drain the salted water out of the soaked tofu, coat tofu with egg.
  6. Add oil to the wok, put in the egg-coated tofu once the oil is warm. Lightly pan-fry the tofu on both sides and then put them aside.
  7. Put chopped garlic and ginger in the same wok for pan-frying tofu, quickly stir garlic and ginger for a few seconds, then add in the tomatoes and stir gently. 
  8. When the tomato juice comes out, add tofu and the pre-prepared stir-fry sauce. Stir gently to combine all ingredients well.
