Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start preparing our delightful silken tofu dish! Have your silken tofu ready. It’s delicious enough to be enjoyed just as it is.
Step 2
Want to plate your silken tofu beautifully without it breaking? Gently hold the four corners of the tofu block. Then, tap the sides where the tofu touches the container, rotating as you tap. This creates a small gap between the tofu and the container, making it easier to separate cleanly.
Step 3
Voila! The silken tofu has transferred to the bowl perfectly, without a single crack, looking as elegant as if prepared by a professional. It’s already a beautiful dish.
Step 4
If you prefer your tofu warm, place the bowl with the tofu directly into the microwave and heat for about 2 minutes. Of course, it’s also delicious served chilled straight from the package. Choose whichever you prefer!
Step 5
While the tofu is in the microwave, let’s prepare the flavorful sesame seeds. Place the toasted sesame seeds in a mortar and pestle or a grinder. The key is not to grind them too finely; leave some texture so you can enjoy a slight bite when you chew. This enhances the nutty flavor.
Step 6
After microwaving, you might notice a little water has come out of the tofu. Gently remove this excess liquid with a spatula or spoon. This step ensures a cleaner taste and better absorption of the sauce.
Step 7
Now, let’s add the delicious dressing! Drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the tofu. For an even more aromatic flavor, you can substitute it with 1 tablespoon of perilla oil. Next, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Finally, generously sprinkle the crushed toasted sesame seeds over the tofu, enough that you can barely see the tofu beneath. This adds a wonderful nutty finish!
Step 8
Your ultra-simple diet silken tofu dish is now complete! It looks as good as it tastes – a healthy, satisfying meal has been created.
Step 9
And finally, the savory flavor of the generously sprinkled sesame seeds is simply outstanding! The nutty aroma that fills your mouth will have you giving it a thumbs-up. Enjoy your delicious meal!
