This is a commonly seen dish in many Chinese restaurants. Tofu is super easy to make at home and it is very high in nutrients! If you are looking to make just egg tofu, you can omit the spinach. You can also get creative by infusing other ingredients into the tofu mixture!

I was a runner up in Singapore's Masterchef Competition Season 2. Cooking has been a passion of mine since I was young. I would always follow my grandma to the wet markets to buy groceries and watch her whip up amazing dishes. Always inspired by my grandma, I look to continue her journey in the culinary world.
