Tauhu Telur-Fluffy Eggs With Tofu (Indonesian-Style Tofu Omelette)



Tauhu Telor or Fluffy Eggs With Bean Curd is an Indonesian comfort food which is simple and yet so delicious! I always order it whenever I dine at an Indonesian restaurant back in Asia. Sadly, the restaurants here in Vancouver does not serve Tahu Telor in that method, so, I decided to try to replicate the dish at home, in a simplified method and presentation though. The bean curd is deep-fried using a special mold. I wish I have a picture to show you, but sorry I don’t. The end result, or shall I say, taste-wise, it turned out pretty good or maybe even a tad better than at the restaurant. Anyway, I love anything tofu as they are full protein and is so delicious. Tauhu telur is another great meat-less alternative to get your protein requirements!

Spicy Peanut Sauce: Heat peanut oil over medium heat. Fry peanut until golden brown and drain well. Then fry chilies, shallots and garlic until soften and fragrant. Reserve the oil, for frying the tofu and eggs. Crush the peanut in a pestle and mortar or a food processor until you have a medium fine paste. Crush or pound fried shallots, garlic and chilies until you have a fine paste. Then mix in the peanut, adjust season with sea salt, palm sugar, kicap manis and adjust the sauce consistency with warm water.

For the Tauhu Telur: Heat the reserved oil and add extra oil, if necessary. Fry the tofu until light golden in color. Drain the tofu on a paper towel,and divide into 2 portions.

    I remember eating this tofu nest at an Indonesian restaurant back in KL. I like your way of cooking as I too don't have the mould to cook it in.

They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest.
