Egg Yolk Tofu

Spread a large and deep bowl with 2 thick wire racks, like a trellis

Prepare the egg yolk threads as in the basic recipe

As you remove the cooked threads from the pan (next step), hang them on the prepared trellis to drain excess syrup

Make several piles of egg yolk threads and let them dry for 1 hour

When shaping the eggs, let the pan with remaining syrup sit over low heat until it reaches a soft ball consistency

To check the point, pour a little syrup into a cold water cup and try to join all the syrup back together with your fingers until it forms a soft ball

If easy, you're at the right temperature

Remove the syrup from the heat and stir with a wooden spoon

Don't let it thicken

Dip the egg yolk threads in this syrup and let them dry

Remove the egg yolk threads from the trellis and serve at room temperature
