A cooling Chinese appetizer of pure simplicity: silken tofu topped with a savory sauce of soy, sesame paste, scallions and toasted sesame seeds. The custardy tofu against the nutty-savory sauce is refreshing and elegant. It takes two minutes to assemble and showcases the delicate tofu — sometimes restraint is the whole recipe.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Silken Tofu
- 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chinese Sesame Sauce
- 1 sliced Scallions
- 2 tsp Sesame Seed
Instructions
- Prepare the tofu:
- Drain the tofu and gently remove it from its packaging onto a large plate. Carefully slice the tofu into 1/2-inch slabs widthwise. With the palm of your hands, gently push the sliced tofu sidewise so that they fan out over the plate.
- Garnish with toppings and serve:
- Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame sauce on top. Then garnish it with scallions and sesame seeds, and serve.
- Tightly cover leftovers and refrigerate for up to 2 days. You can enjoy it cold straight out of the fridge or you can reheat it by microwaving in 30-second increments until warmed through
