Cold Silken Tofu with Sweet Chili Sauce

Step 1

Open the package of tofu. Drain out the water.

Step 2

You can run your tofu through some water to wash out any sliminess. If your tofu is a bit slimy to the touch, continue to rinse this through water and carefully rub with your hands.Do note that your tofu shouldn’t have any sour/off-putting smell after washing. If this is the case, your tofu might’ve gone bad. It’d be best to get fresh tofu or those that have been recently made/produced for the best tofu.

Step 3

If you have the silken tofu in a tube, you can cut the middle with a knife and carefully press out the tofu. You can then slice these into 1” thick round pieces.

Step 4

Place the tofu on a shallow bowl or plate. Leave it to sit while you prepare the sauce.You can also microwave your tofu if you want it warm. See notes.

Step 5

For the sauce, mix everything into a bowl. Feel free to adjust the measurements to your taste.

Step 6

Before pouring the sauce over the tofu, remove ant excess water form your plate/bowl since the tofu may continue to release more water as it sits.

Step 7

Pour the sauce over the tofu.

Step 8

Top with your toppings of choice.

Step 9

Enjoy cold! This is best enjoyed immediately.

Step 10

Prepare Ahead Tip: You can prepare the sauce before hand and just pour the sauce over the tofu when ready to enjoy. You can leave the tofu to soak in the sauce longer in the refrigerator but if doing so, add the toppings later on so they stay fresh and crisp.
