Nguyên liệu

1 (14 to 16 ounce) block of soft or silken tofu (see note 1)

2 cloves garlic

2 teaspoons rice vinegar (see note 2)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 1/2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce (see note 3)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/4 teaspoon sugar (optional)

3 to 4 tablespoons fried onions or fried shallots (see note 4)

2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions

1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Hướng dẫn

Drain and remove the block of tofu from the plastic tray. (See note 4) Place the tofu on a chopping block and let that sit so that the tofu can release some of its moisture.

Using a microplane zester, grate 2 cloves of garlic. Transfer the garlic to a small bowl and mix it with the rice vinegar. Let that sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, mix in the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and sesame oil. Give the sauce a taste. Add the sugar (or any sweetener) if you find the sauce to be too tangy (I usually do).

Use a mortar and pestle or your hands to gently crush the fried onions.

Carefully place the tofu in a shallow bowl. Use a spoon to drizzle about 2/3 of the soy sauce mixture over the tofu. I like to save some sauce to spoon over the tofu pieces as I eat them.

Top the tofu with crushed fried onions, sliced scallions, and sesame seeds. Again, I usually save some of the scallions and fried onions on the side to top the pieces of tofu as I eat. Use a large spoon to serve the cold tofu. Enjoy with jasmine rice, brown rice, basmati rice, or my egg fried rice!
