The ‘golden sand’ in Golden Sand Tofu is actually stir-fried salted egg yolk. Paired with crispy fried tofu, the flavor is so irresistible… you’ll finish a big bowl of rice in no time!

Step 1

Cut salted egg yolk and garlic cloves into small pieces and set aside.

Step 2

For salted egg yolk, you can buy two salted duck eggs and extract the yolks, or purchase pre-packaged salted egg yolks online (usually sold in bags of a dozen or more, which is cost-effective).

Step 3

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat (about 150°C or 300°F). Add cubed firm tofu and pan-fry until the surface turns golden brown, then remove. For extra crispiness, fry the tofu a second time. Note: Use ‘Northern tofu’ (firm tofu) as it has lower water content and holds its shape better for frying. ‘Southern tofu’ (soft tofu) is more suitable for cold dishes or soups.
