Steps

1

Wrap the tofu in paper towels, place a weight on top, and drain the water. Slice the onion and simmer it lightly with the simmering sauce ingredients in a covered pan.
2

Cut the tofu into 4 pieces. Lightly season with salt and pepper, then coat with flour. Mix the remaining flour with water to make a batter, dip the tofu pieces in it, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
3

Shallow-fry the tofu in enough oil. Be careful not to move them too soon, or the coating may come off.
4

Drain the fried tofu and add to the pan with the simmering sauce. Pour in the beaten eggs, cover, and cook until the eggs are just set.
