Sizzling Garlic and Chili Silken Tofu

This recipe elevates simple silken tofu by pouring hot, sizzling oil over fresh garlic, scallions, and chili flakes to release their aromatic oils instantly. It creates a rich, savory, and slightly spicy sauce that pairs perfectly with the cool, creamy texture of the chilled tofu.

Ingredients

1 block (12 oz) silken tofu, chilled
2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tsp dried chili flakes
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tsp black vinegar or rice vinegar
1/2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. 1

    Carefully remove the chilled silken tofu from its package and drain any excess water.

  2. 2

    Place the tofu block onto a serving plate with raised edges. Slice the block into thick cubes or slabs, but keep the overall shape intact.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Pour this sauce around the base of the tofu.

  4. 4

    Pile the minced garlic, chopped green onions, chili flakes, and sesame seeds directly on top of the tofu block.

  5. 5

    Heat the neutral oil in a small pan or metal ladle over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer and smoke slightly.

  6. 6

    Carefully pour the hot oil directly over the garlic, green onions, and chili flakes on the tofu to create a sizzling effect.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the hot aromatics and the cold, creamy tofu.
