In my home country, Indonesia, we call this dish as Tahu Bumbu. They are usually sold by small vendors along the side of the road in the evening until midnight. Originally the vegetables that go along with this dish are fresh bean sprout and Indonesian cucumber pickles, but here, I replaced them with vegetables that I had in my fridge and stir fry them.

Steps

Marinate the tofu cubes in salt water for about 15 minutes.
2

Meanwhile, make the sauce. Mix all the ingredients for the sauce on a serving plate until well combined. Set aside.
3

Heat about 3 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Drain the tofu (discard the salt water) then put them in the frying pan. Check the bottom of the tofu, when the bottom have turned light golden, turn them over to cook the other side.
4

Whisk the eggs with 1/4 tsp salt and white pepper. Drizzle the eggs over the tofu. Tilt the pan to spread the egg mixture evenly. Let the bottom side of eggs firm up a little, then turn it over to cook the other side.
5

Place the tofu omelette on top of the peanut sauce.
6

Heat a little oil in the same frying pan over high heat. Add the vegetables. Stir fry a little bit then add the fish sauce and white pepper. Toss them around for a few second. Taste it. Transfer it to the top of the tofu omelette. Garnish with chopped chives or green onion. Serve it with cooked rice.
