Directions
-
Pat the tofu dry using a kitchen towel. Cut it into six equal pieces and place them on a tissue paper-lined plate. Cover the tofu with another layer of tissue paper and press gently to remove excess moisture.
-
Carefully make a shallow cut in the center of each tofu piece to create a pocket. Slice the crab meat, pickled radish, small green onion, and Spam into thin strips. Insert the sliced ingredients inside the tofu pockets.
-
Crack the egg into a bowl, then add salt and pepper powder. Whisk until well combined.
-
Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add a bit of oil. Lightly coat the stuffed tofu with the egg mixture, then place it in the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
-
Reduce the heat and gently pour a small amount of egg mixture into the tofu pockets. Add one piece each of small green onion, Spam, pickled radish, and crab meat on top. Pour a little more egg mixture over the toppings. Carefully flip the tofu with a spoon and cook until the egg sets.
