Pan-Fried Spätzle with Tofu and Beans

Step by step

Method

1. 01

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, eggs, water, and 3 grams of salt until a smooth, viscous batter forms.

2. 02

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Press the batter through a spätzle press or scrape thin strips off a wet cutting board into the boiling water.

3. 03

   Cook the spätzle until they float to the surface, about 2 to 3 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

4. 04

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes, then remove from skillet.

5. 05

   Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until softened and golden, about 10 minutes.

6. 06

   Add cooked spätzle, fried tofu, and black beans to the skillet. Toss gently and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until fully heated through.

7. 07

   Season with remaining salt and black pepper before serving.
