Instructions

Boil 500ml of water in a pot and add salt to taste.

Wash the vegetables. Hold the asparagus at the lower part of the stem and bend it slightly with your hands. The asparagus will break where it's most tender. You can either remove the fibre of the tough part with a peeler or discard it. Cut the edible part in half, separating the heads from the middle pieces as they need to be cooked differently. Peel and finely chop the onion, carrot and garlic. Cut the tofu into small cubes. Cut the chilli into thin slices.

Once the water boils, add the middle pieces of the asparagus and add the heads after 2 minutes. Cook everything for another 2 minutes. Remove and set aside on a plate. Reserve the hot water.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pot and sauté the onion, carrot, garlic and chilli for 2 minutes. Add the buckwheat, fried tomato sauce and soy sauce. Mix it well. Add 300ml of the boiling water and cook the buckwheat for approx. 15 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, add the tofu. Add the asparagus at the last moment. If necessary, add water as it evaporates. Season to taste before serving.

Grease a frying pan with a paper towel absorbed in oil. Heat it and add the egg. Let it cook over low heat until it's fully coagulated. If necessary, cover the egg with a pot lid so it cooks the top part.
