Tofu

Since tofu is pretty versatile, you can opt for either pouring the sauce over a block of silken tofu, or you can cut and chop the silken tofu into pieces and mix it with the dressing, producing a stew. 

1

Soy sauce

We recommend going with light soy sauce, as it will allow every ingredient to flourish without dominating the taste of your dish.

2

Honey and chili pepper

Honey will give your dish a sweet taste, and the chili pepper will serve to make this silken tofu recipe spicy, adding another layer of flavor.

Ingredients

1 pound silken tofu

1 ½ tbsp. light soy sauce

Optional — 1 tbsp. honey

1 ½ tbsp. rice vinegar

1 tbsp. sesame oil

Instructions

Remove the excess liquid from the package, before extracting the silken tofu.

1

Place the tofu on a paper towel to soak up the excess liquid.

Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan, on medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Saute until translucent. Be careful not to burn the onion and the garlic.

After they turn brown, lower the heat and pour the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, vegetable broth, and sugar into the pan. 

4

Let it simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
