INGREDIENTS

Silken tofu (500 g)

Sesame oil (1 tsp)

INSTRUCTIONS

Begin by carefully removing the cover from the silken tofu box. Position a few paper towels on top and flip the box over, allowing the paper to soak up any extra moisture.
‍
To prepare the sauce, heat a small pan to medium. Add in the oil, minced garlic, and the white sections of the green onion. Allow these to cook until their fragrance is released. Then, introduce the remaining ingredients, letting them blend and cook for another couple of minutes.

Flip the tofu back over and cautiously remove the damp paper. Use a serving plate to cover the tofu box's opening, turn it around, and gently free the tofu from the box.
‍
Complete the dish by pouring the sauce generously over the tofu.

Enjoy! ♡
