Directions

  1. Dice the green onion and carrot. Place the enoki mushrooms in a bowl with water, wash thoroughly, then pat dry with tissue. Chop the mushrooms finely.

  2. Cut the half block of tofu in half and gently squeeze out the excess water. In a bowl, combine the tofu, diced green onion, carrot, eggs, and salt. Mix well until evenly combined.

  3. Place the shrimp in a separate bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of white wine to the shrimp and mix to coat.

  4. Heat 4 small sauté pans over low heat and lightly coat each with cooking oil. Divide the tofu mixture evenly into the 4 pans. Place 2 shrimp on top of the mixture in each pan. Cover the pans with lids and cook for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, remove the lids and gently stir the mixture with a spoon. Cover again and cook for an additional 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, remove the lids, flip the mixture with a spoon, and lightly add more oil if needed. Continue frying until golden brown and cooked through.
