6. Heat oil in a frying pan, or pot to medium-high. Put in the
tofu slices, and fry until golden. Then cut the tofu slices into
5cm long strips.
7. Mix the tofu and the egg strips, and spread the green onions
on top.
8. In a bowl, mix: soy sauce, vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt, sugar,
MSG, garlic, grinded pepper, and chili oil.
9. When you are ready to serve, add the sauce to the tofu dish.
Mix well, and serve.
Note: Cooking the eggs is quite simple in this dish, however
frying the tofu takes a little effort. Because the tofu retains water,
it will take a little time before they become golden. It’s a good
idea for you to first cut them into slices, and let them sit for a
while to let some of the water out.

Onion Head Tofu
I
f you’re wondering what onion
heads are…
They’re just the top half of the
green onions. (The white part.)
Onion heads are popular
ingredients used in Chinese
cooking. Although green onions
are not normally used as the main
ingredient in cooking, however,
green onion head could be used as a main ingredient.
You want to pick the largest green onions possible when trying to
cook this dish. Those larger ones have more flavor and bite in
them.
