Guoqiao Tofu, a beloved Chinese dish, is famous for its silky tofu, fresh toppings, and savory broth. Here’s a simple recipe to recreate this classic at home.
Ingredients:
- 1 block (350g) soft tofu, cubed
- 500ml chicken or vegetable stock
- 100g sliced ham or shrimp
- 50g mushrooms, sliced
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp soy sauce, ½ tsp sesame oil, a pinch of white pepper
Instructions:
1. Prep the tofu: Gently press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
2. Make the broth: Bring stock to a boil in a clay pot or deep bowl. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper.
3. Cook the toppings: Slide tofu cubes into the broth. Add ham, mushrooms, and green onions. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
4. Thicken the soup: Drizzle beaten eggs slowly in a circular motion while stirring gently. The eggs will cook into silky ribbons.
5. Serve: Let it rest for 1 minute. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs. Enjoy hot with rice!
Tip: For extra flavor, top with dried chili oil or cilantro. The key is using fresh ingredients and a gentle touch to keep the tofu tender. This comforting dish is perfect for a quick, satisfying meal!
