Dear, you need to make smaller batches to make sure the egg can spread at the bottom. Don't stir, we are making one side crispy while the other super tender. But you can move the pan from side to side to make sure it is evenly heated.

Really enjoyed this dish the first time - comforting with a kick! I added mushrooms which added meaty texure.

I tried doubling the recipe but it didn't turn out as good, with a burnt taste because the eggs ended up forming a wall and it was hard for the tofu and inner egg liquid to cook through. I made the dish in a Chinese ceramic cooking pot with higher edges. Do you recommend making this dish in a flat pan rather than a ceramic cooking pot so the ingredients cook more evenly? Also, do you stir the eggs after adding the tofu to break up the outer layer of egg before putting on simmer? Or do you not touch the eggs at all after adding the tofu?

Thanks!

Nate, I believe I am using a regular pan around 24cm in size. Love to hear your comment. Happy cooking!

I was looking for a good recipe that uses eggs and tofu because they're good, inexpensive protein, and I found this and it is exactly what I was looking for. I just made it, and it was so filling and delicious. Easy to make. So much protein. Loved all the flavors.

It's hard to tell from the photo, about what size pan do you use for this recipe? I used one that was a bit smaller I think, I wonder if I should try a larger one next time. I'm already thinking about making this again.

Hi Eve,
That's a very sweet comment. I am so happy to read this. Personally I love this version very much too. It is super simple and as good as the complex mapo tofu. Happy cooking and enjoy!

This is one of my new favourite recipes! My husband and I loved it so much, I made it again for lunch the very next day. It is so, so good. I made your garlic sauce to go with it. I saw someone mentioned they just used Lao Gan Ma. It's really no contest! Your sauce recipe is amazingly savoury and addictive. The best thing is if you have the sauce already made you can make this recipe in no time at all. Thanks so much! I think I will be making it all the time now.
