How to make Tofu Egg Flower Soup and Egg Tofu Soup

Tofu and egg pudding is a nutritious and easy to digest home-made soup. It is mainly made of tender tofu and eggs, and is suitable for the elderly, children and patients after illness. When making, attention should be paid to controlling the heat to keep the egg yolk tender and smooth. Tofu can be selected from lactone tofu or silk tofu to enhance the taste.

1. Material Preparation

Prepare 150 grams of tender tofu cut into 1 centimeter square pieces, and beat 2 eggs thoroughly for later use. You can choose 50g sliced shiitake mushrooms or 20g diced carrots as side dishes to enhance the flavor. For broth, 300ml of water can be used as a substitute, and a little salt and pepper can be added for seasoning. Tofu needs to be soaked in light salt water for 5 minutes in advance to remove the bean odor.

Step 2: Cooking

Pour the broth into the pot and bring it to a boil. Then turn down the heat and gently add tofu cubes to cook for 2 minutes. Keep the Noodles in soup slightly boiling, slowly pour the egg liquid into the pot in a circle, let it stand for 10 seconds until the egg is shaped, and then gently push the back of the spoon. Finally, pour in 5 grams of sesame oil to enhance the aroma, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and turn off the heat. The key is to avoid boiling over in high heat, which can cause the egg yolk to age and shatter.

III. Taste Optimization

Pursuing a more tender and smooth taste, the egg mixture ratio can be adjusted by mixing 1 whole egg with 1 egg white and breaking it up. Choose lactone tofu with high moisture content and blanch it in hot water for 30 seconds before cooking to remove any astringency. When thickening, 5 grams of corn starch can be mixed with water and stirred evenly. Before adding the egg mixture, pour it into the soup and slightly reduce the sauce to make the soup thicker.

4. Nutritional Matching

30 grams of shrimp or chicken breast shredded meat can be added to supplement high-quality protein, and 50 grams of spinach or bok choy can be added to increase dietary fiber. It is suggested that diabetes patients should reduce starch thicken, and hypertensive people should control salt consumption. For those with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, 2 slices of ginger can be added and boiled together to help digestion and absorption.

Fifth, Change Method

The Japanese version can use miso instead of salt, and finally sprinkle shredded seaweed. Sichuan flavor improvement can be achieved by adding 5 grams of Pixian Douban sauce and stir frying until fragrant, then cooking the soup and pouring red oil over it before cooking. Baby food should be made by pressing tofu into a paste, stirring egg yolks more finely, and not adding any seasoning at all.

This soup is recommended to be served freshly, as reheating after refrigeration can affect the texture of the egg yolk. Daily consumption can be combined with whole wheat Mantou or miscellaneous grain rice to form a complete meal. During the cooking process, all ingredients should be thoroughly heated to avoid using overnight cooked eggs for repeated processing. People with special physical conditions should adjust the ingredients according to medical advice, and those who are allergic to soybeans or eggs should be prohibited from consuming them.
