Equipment

  • bowl

Directions

  1. Drain the Silken Tofu and cut up into bite size pieces (try not to break them up) and place into 2 individual bowls. Aside- Silken or soft tofu is preferred, but not firm/hard tofu.Wash the Chinese chives, remove the buds and cut up the green part into 1 inch pieces to make up cup. Then sprinkle into each bowl. Aside- some people prefer to use the buds as well, also the chives are a little hard to the bite, so you might want to par-boil them or saut them in a little oil briefly to make them a little softer.
  2. Add soy sauce to each bowl, sesame oil, a touch of chili oil (optional) and pieces of seaweed as well.Enjoy.Submit a Correction
