Ingredients

1 package silken tofu
2 ½ tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon black rice vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon chili oil crisp
1 teaspoon sugar
3 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
2 green onion diced
1 tablespoon cilantro chopped

Instructions

Prepare tofu. Drain the tofu from the package. Place the tofu on a paper-towel lined cutting board. Gently pat the tofu to dry the excess moisture. Slice the tofu into 1/2-inch slices and place on a serving plate.
Mix sauce. In a small mixing bowl, add the soy sauce, black rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili oil, sugar, sesame seeds and minced garlic.
Assemble. Drizzle the sauce over the tofu. Garnish green onions and cilantro. Enjoy!

Notes

Absorb excess moisture from the silken tofu. To remove the tofu, run a knife along the edges of the plastic. Drain the liquid from the tofu box, then flip the tofu box over a paper towel-lined cutting board. Leave the tofu to drain for a few minutes. Then place a plate over the tofu and flip it over.
Serve cold. This soft tofu dish is served directly from the refrigerator which makes it easy to prepare and refreshing for warmer days.
Storage instructions: This silken tofu recipe is best served immediately but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
