Out of the package, it rests briefly on a paper towel to shed surface water before moving to the plate. The dressing is soy sauce with chili flakes, garlic, green onion, and sesame oil, and the tofu is served either cold or warmed for a minute in the microwave.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Remove one block of silken tofu from the package and set it on a paper towel for 1 minute to draw off surface moisture, then transfer to a flat plate.

  2. 2

    For a warm serving, microwave the plated tofu for 1 minute.

    For a cold serving, skip the heating step.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon water, 0.5 teaspoon Korean chili flakes, and 0.5 teaspoon minced garlic. Stir until the chili flakes are evenly dispersed.

  4. 4

    Add 15g minced green onion and 1 tsp sesame oil, then stir once more to finish the sauce.

    The oil will form a thin glossy layer on the surface.

  5. 5

    Pour the sauce over the tofu starting from the center and working outward in a slow stream so it spreads evenly across the whole surface.

  6. 6

    Lightly crush 1/2 tbsp sesame seeds between your fingers to open their aroma, sprinkle evenly over the top, and serve at once.
