At Thai restaurants, do they coat the tofu in egg before frying/sauteeing?

I went to a Thai Restaurant last night and I was eating the tofu when all the sudden I realized it had a strange coating. Could this be egg? Hopefully it’s just a flour-based coating but I can’t be sure.

Best bet is to ask when you order things. Saying you’re vegan might not register to some people or they mightn’t care and just say there is no fish/egg in the dish. If you say you are allergic to fish and egg products however they’ll tell you the truth.

    I’m not sure, but I do know that most thai restaurants use fish sauce and stock in most of their food so if are a vege/vegan be aware of this.

    I’ve never had them coated at any Thai restaurant I’ve eaten at.

    Mine coats theirs in black bean sauce, then sear it after knocking off the beans.

    You’d best ask, though.
