My daughter and I both really love tofu, and she especially likes silken tofu, so I made this super easy silken tofu side dish along with a stir fry we had the other night. This recipe takes 5 minutes, but it has a ton of flavor and is so enjoyable to eat. Silken tofu has a very smooth texture, almost like a flan or panna cotta, but obviously not made of milk. It is a great neutral base for strong Asian flavors.
This sauce is made with a simple mix of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil (all which can be purchased at any grocery store) and I like to add some Fly by Jing Chili Crisp too because it is so yummy and adds a nice hit of spice to this, but that is optional. This dish makes a great side dish to any Asian meal and can be served room temp, warm or cold. I prefer it slightly warmed.
