Ingredients:

  • 1 block (14 oz / 400g) Soft or Silken Tofu
  • 1/2 cup (50g) Cucumber, finely diced
  • 2 stalks (10g) Scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp (10g) Toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp (5g) Toasted nori strips
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) Honey
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5g) Fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) Garlic powder

Instructions:

  1. Remove the silken tofu from the package, wrap the block in two layers of paper towels, and place a lightweight plate on top for 5–10 minutes to remove excess surface water. Slice the tofu into 1-inch cubes or leave as a whole block.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, combine the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, and garlic powder. Whisk vigorously until the dressing is emulsified, glossy, and thick.
  3. Place the prepped tofu in a shallow bowl and drizzle the sesame dressing evenly over the top.
  4. Garnish the tofu with diced cucumbers, sliced scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and nori strips.
