How to Make Tofu Omelet Indonesia

Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of bean sprouts and blanch for 30 seconds.
Immediately transfer the bean sprouts to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and maintain their vibrant green color. Drain well.
Crumble or finely chop 1 block (14 oz) firm or extra-firm tofu.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the crumbled tofu.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Pour half of the tofu-egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to create an even, thin layer.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges are set and the top is no longer runny.
Carefully flip the omelet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the omelet to a plate.
Repeat steps 6-9 with the remaining egg mixture to make a second omelet.
Top each omelet with 1/2 cup of the blanched bean sprouts and 1-2 thinly sliced fresh red chilies (adjust to your spice preference).
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar.
Drizzle the soy sauce mixture evenly over both omelets.
Garnish with 1 tablespoon chopped roasted peanuts, 1 tablespoon fried shallot flakes, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy!
