Pan-fried Tofu Omelet Tahu Telur

There are dishes from my childhood days that seemed so simple and I took them for
granted whenever my mother made them. I thought I could always have Pan-fried Tofu
Omelet whenever I felt like it, wherever I was—after all, it was just tofu and eggs.
After moving out of my parents’ house, I didn’t get to eat this dish for years, not
because it’s difficult to prepare, but ironically because whenever the family was
together, we would eat fancier, more complex dishes. I finally got my hands on my
mother’s recipe and now am able to satisfy my craving for this omelet with its sweet

and savory sauce. This is really a classic Indonesian dish and is the perfect way to
start the day, with something that tastes wonderful and gives a unique twist to a
traditional breakfast favorite.
