HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water. Then, crumble the tofu into a medium bowl.

02

Add the eggs, flour, salt, and white pepper to the crumbled tofu. Mix well until everything is combined.

03

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour half of the tofu mixture into the skillet and spread it evenly to form a thick omelet. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining oil and tofu mixture to make a second omelet.

04

While the omelets cook, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, kecap manis, lime juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

05

Once cooked, transfer the tofu omelets to serving plates. Cut each omelet into quarters or bite-sized pieces.

06

Drizzle generously with the prepared peanut sauce. Garnish with fried shallots if desired, and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

Ensure your tofu is well-pressed; this prevents a watery omelet and helps it crisp up nicely. Adjust the red pepper flakes in the sauce to your preferred level of spice.
↔

Easy Substitutions

For a gluten-free option, use rice flour instead of all-purpose flour. If you don't have kecap manis, you can substitute with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce mixed with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover Tahu Telur and peanut sauce should be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the omelet gently in a skillet or microwave, and warm the sauce slightly before serving.
