Ginisang Ampalaya With Egg And Tofu Ingredients

2 pieces ampalaya about 500 grams
1 tablespoons Salt for soaking
1 500-gram pack firm tofu sliced into cubes
1/2 Cup all-purpose flour
1 medium red onion chopped
3 cloves Garlic chopped
2 Small tomatoes deseeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 large eggs beaten
vegetable oil for frying and sauteing

Instructions

Slice ampalaya in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and discard. Slice ampalaya into thin half-moons and place in a bowl filled with water. Add salt and mix. Let stand for 15 minutes. Remove water and rinse ampalaya. Squeeze out any excess water. Set aside.
Heat oil in a frying pan. Dredge tofu cubes in flour. Fry in batches until crisp and golden, about 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Set aside.
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a pot over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic until fragrant. Add tomatoes and saute until softened.
Add ampalaya and mix to combine. Cover for 5 minutes or until ampalaya is softened. Season with salt and pepper.
Add tofu cubes. Pour in beaten eggs and toss gently until completely cooked, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.
