Press the tofu: wrap the block in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels, set a heavy skillet on top, and let it press for at least 10 minutes. Cut into 3/4-inch cubes, then toss in a bowl with 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the tofu and toss again until each piece is lightly coated.

Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs in with a slotted spoon and cook for exactly 7 minutes for a jammy, slightly soft yolk. Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water and let cool for 5 minutes, then peel and set aside.
