Silken Tofu with Sesame Soy Sauce

The most gratifying vegan side dish or entrée can be made in just five minutes by topping store-bought silken tofu with a few ingredients from your cupboard.

Ingredients :

• 1 (16-ounce) packet silken tofu

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons Chinese sesame sauce

• 1 scallion, trimmed and thinly sliced

• 2 teaspoons toasted or untoasted sesame seeds

STEPS :

     1. Prepare the tofu : 

Tofu should be drained and carefully taken out of its box onto a large platter. Slice the tofu into 1/2-inch-wide slabs with care. Sliced tofu should be spread out across the dish using the palms of your hands to gently press them sideways.

     2. Garnish with toppings and serve :

The soy sauce and sesame sauce should be drizzled on top. After that, serve it with sesame seeds and scallions as a garnish.

Refrigerate leftovers for up to two days with a tight cover. You can eat it cold right out of the refrigerator or reheat it in the microwave in 30-second intervals until well heated.
