Instructions
Make Beef Gravy
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, then sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef and break it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5–6 minutes until browned and fully cooked,
- Stir in the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Mix well until the beef is evenly coated.
- Pour in the cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch mix with 2 tsp water) and stir continuously for 1–2 minutes until the gravy thickens into a glossy sauce. Add more cornstarch slurry if needed. Remove from heat and set aside.
Steam Egg Tofu
- Heat a large nonstick pan or shallow pot over medium-low heat and add 1 tsp of neutral oil. Carefully place the silken tofu into the center of the pan. Optional: use a spatula to divide the tofu into 5 equal parts.
- Slowly pour the beaten eggs evenly around and over the tofu.
- Spoon the beef gravy over the top, covering the tofu evenly.
- Cover with a lid and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the eggs are just set while remaining soft and silky.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and drizzle chili oil on top. Serve immediately by itself or over a bowl of steamed rice.
