Easy High-Protein Meal in One Pan (Print Version)
Silken tofu, eggs, and shrimp steam together in one covered pan for a quick high-protein meal with chili garlic sauce and scallions.
# Ingredients:
For the skillet
01 -
1 tablespoon neutral oil or sesame oil
02 -
11 oz (312 g) silken tofu or soon tofu
03 -
3 large eggs, beaten
04 -
8 oz (225 g) peeled and deveined shrimp
05 -
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
06 -
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
For finishing
07 -
1 1/2 tablespoons liquid seasoning or soy sauce
08 -
1-2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce, to taste
09 -
2 green onions, thinly sliced
10 -
2 cups cooked hot rice, for serving
# Instructions:
01 -
Set a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom.
02 -
Slide the silken tofu into the skillet in large chunks. Leave the pieces mostly intact so the finished dish has soft custardy pockets.
03 -
Beat the eggs with salt and pepper. Pour them around and over the tofu without stirring too much.
04 -
Place the shrimp in a single layer over the tofu and eggs so they cook evenly under the lid.
05 -
Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the eggs are set and the shrimp are pink, firm, and opaque.
06 -
Turn off the heat. Drizzle with liquid seasoning and chili garlic sauce, then scatter green onions over the top. Serve immediately over hot rice.
# Notes:
01 -
Best eaten right after cooking while the eggs are soft and the shrimp are tender.
02 -
Use tamari instead of soy sauce if you need a gluten-free seasoning option.
03 -
Nutrition estimate includes 1 cup cooked rice per serving.
