Instructions

  1. Finely chop the chives. Cut the smoked tofu into strips about the length of the pasta.
  2. Clean the spring onions and cut into fine slices. Mix the egg yolks with the cream, the parmesan and the sliced spring onions, season well with salt and pepper.
  3. Now put the pasta in boiling salted water and cook until al dente.
  4. Meanwhile, heat peanut oil in a non-stick pan and fry the smoked tofu until golden, then add to the egg-cream mixture.
  5. Drain the pasta, collecting some of the cooking water. Put the pasta back into the hot saucepan, pour the cream, egg and tofu mixture over it and stir, adding more cooking water if necessary.
  6. Arrange on plates and sprinkle generously with the chives and, if you like, with additional parmesan.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
