1Take out the tofu from its packaging and tear it into chunks.
2Add a drizzle of oil to your clay pot over a medium-high heat.
3Add the tofu to the pot and fry until evenly golden and crisp.
4While the tofu cooks, mix the tamari, 1 tablespoon of plant-based oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of MSG together in a small bowl to create a sauce.
5When the tofu is done, pour the prepared sauce over it and mix until everything is evenly coated.
6Remove the cooked tofu from the pot and set it aside.
7Add the washed jasmine rice to the pot.
8Cover the rice with enough water so the level reaches just below your first knuckle.
9Bring the rice and water to a boil, then cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes.
10Meanwhile, prepare the vegan egg yolk by mixing 80 ml of water with 1/2 teaspoon of orange food coloring and 1 tablespoon of cornflour in a glass.
11Add the mixture to a pan over medium-high heat, then cook, stirring regularly until it thickens into a glossy, 'egg yolk' consistency.
12Turn off the heat, then stir in 1/2 tablespoon of nutritional yeast and 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of black salt into the vegan egg yolk mixture.
13Remove the lid from the clay pot, lay the cooked tofu on top of the rice, and spoon the vegan 'egg yolk' into the center.
14Place the lid back on the pot, turn the heat to the lowest setting, and cook for a final 5 to 7 minutes until the rice is fully cooked.
15Meanwhile, prepare the topping sauce by mixing 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of tamari, 1 tablespoon of chili crisp, 1 teaspoon of black vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon of MSG, and 1 minced garlic clove together in a bowl.
16Slice the spring onion.
17When the rice is ready, pour the topping sauce over it and sprinkle with the sliced spring onion.
