Tender tofu is the best choice for this kind of home-cooked tofu. The fried tofu pieces are soft in texture and tender and smooth in taste. However, you need to be careful not to break it during frying. You must wait until the bottom of the tofu turns brown before turning it over.

The main seasonings of this dish are oyster sauce and soy sauce, which are salty and need not be added with salt.

When the tofu is soaked in the egg liquid, it is best to choose a flat plate, spread the tofu evenly and shake the plate so that the tofu can stick to the egg liquid evenly. Don't turn it over with chopsticks, lest you break the tofu.
