Silken Tofu with Spring Onion and Soy Dressing

Ingredients

• 300 g silken tofu
• 1 tbsp neutral cooking oil
• 2 spring onions (finely chopped)
• 2 medium garlic cloves (minced)
• ½-1 tsp of chilli flakes (optional- depending on preferred spice level)
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp black rice vinegar
• 1 pinch of sugar
• Toasted sesame seeds (for garnishing)
• Dried chilli (for garnishing)

Method

1. Open the lid of the tofu box and place several sheets of paper towel over the top of the tofu. Flip the box over and set aside, allowing any excess water to be absorbed by the paper.
2. Make the sauce by adding oil, spring onions and garlic to a small saucepan over low heat (set aside some of the spring onion to use as a garnish). Leave it to simmer over low heat until the aromatics become golden.
3. Turn off the heat and stir in the chilli flakes (if using). Finally, add soy sauce, black rice vinegar and sugar. Mix well.
4. Remove the paper towels and carefully transfer the tofu onto a serving plate. Pour the sauce over the tofu.
5. Garnish with leftover spring onion and toasted sesame seeds.
