One of my ultimate comfort foods is rice. Nothing else feels better than eating that when I’m feeling down. This steamed egg and tofu dish is one of the perfect dishes to eat with rice. The soft silkiness of the egg and tofu mixed with the rice is a match made in heaven. Don’t be surprised if you end up eating two large bowls of rice because it is that good and comforting.

For this dish, you must use silken or egg tofu. You need the super soft silky texture to accompany the silky steamed egg. The sauce made from ground pork rounds everything together creating a umami-ness that keeps you coming back for more. If you’re vegetarian, I would suggest replacing the ground pork with chopped up mushrooms using the same sauce. It will be equally as delicious!
