Tofu and Eggs - 10 Minutes Only - Tiffy Cooks (2024)

Back with another 10-minute dinner, let’s make Tofu and Eggs.

Tofu and Eggs is one of the most underrated combos. The silky tofu paired with rich, fluffy eggs is perfect on top of a bowl of hot rice.

Tofu and Eggs is an easy and delicious meal that has been one of my go-to dinners this month, and I promise when you try it, you will love it too! I use dashi powder in this recipe, but if you are vegetarian, you can swap with vegetarian dashi powder that uses seaweed and shiitake mushrooms instead!

Quick, easy, and healthy, Tofu and Eggs is the perfect meal for any weeknight dinner!

I like to use silken tofu or soft tofu, as it pairs perfectly with eggs and is able to soak up all the flavor from the sauce.

Quick tip to save you on dishes, drain the tofu by cutting a small slit along the box, then slice the tofu on top of the pan; this way, you don’t need to worry about the tofu breaking when transferring the tofu.

The sauce is SUPER easy for my Tofu and Eggs.

Inspired by one of my favorite Japanese recipes, Gyudon, this sauce is packed with umami flavor. All you need is dashi powder, soy sauce, and sugar. You can adjust the amount of each ingredient depending on your liking, I like mine to be slightly more salty, since I will be pairing this dish with rice.

For those that are vegetarian, you can use vegetarian dashi powder, or you can use mushroom powder. I like to finish the dish with my homemade chili oil to give it an extra kick, but you can skip this step if you don’t like your food spicy.

Since my tofu and eggs are inspired by Gyudon and Katsudon, the runniness of the eggs will depend on your own liking.

I like mine to be slightly runny as I love the texture on top of my rice, but if you prefer your eggs to be more solid, you can increase the cooking time.
