    Ingredients

    1 pkg Mandarin Egg Tube Tofu , sliced (approx. 1” thick)
    2 eggs , beaten
    ¾ cup water
    1 tsp salt
    1 tbsp garlic , minced
    200g ground meat (beef, pork, or chicken will work)
    1 tbsp dark soy sauce
    1 tsp oyster sauce
    1 tsp chili bean paste (doubanjiang)
    1½ tsp sugar
    ¼ cup water
    ¼ cup green onions , chopped
    Cornstarch slurry:
    1½ tsp cornstarch
    2 tbsp room temperature water

    Directions

    1. Arrange the sliced egg tofu on a large shallow heat-proof plate (that can be steamed). In a separate bowl, beat together 2 eggs and ¾ cup of water. Add salt.
    2. Pour beaten egg mixture on top of the sliced egg tofu through a sieve. Steam on medium heat for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the mixture is completely set.
    3. In another pan on medium heat low heat, add in minced meat, garlic, and toss for 30 seconds until garlic is aromatic and meat is cooked through.
    4. Add in dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili bean paste, sugar, and water. Stir until combined.
    5. Turn heat to low, and add in your cornstarch slurry (mix cornstarch and room temp water).
    6. Pour meat mixture on top of steamed egg tofu and top with chopped green onions.
    Tip

    Putting a large plate upside down on top of the heat-proof plate can prevent water droplets from dropping onto the egg during steaming.
