Crack the egg into the tofu mixture. Using a whisk, mix thoroughly until the egg is fully incorporated and the batter is uniform.

Add the potato starch to the bowl. Whisk continuously until the batter becomes silky smooth and all the starch is dissolved. This will give the French toast its characteristic mochi-like texture.

Heat a large non-stick pan (a rectangular pan works well for folding) over medium heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan evenly. Once the oil is shimmering, pour the entire silky batter into the pan, spreading it out evenly.

Cook the batter slowly over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the top is almost firm but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Once the top of the batter is almost set, carefully slide a wide spatula underneath one half of the French toast. Gently fold it in half, creating a semi-circle or rectangular shape.

Continue to cook the folded French toast for another 2-3 minutes per side, or until both sides are lightly golden brown and cooked through. You can press down gently with the spatula to ensure even browning.
