Chilled Tofu with Scallions and Soy Sauce
This simple dish features tofu as the main attraction, with a savory Asian sauce to flavor it. It only takes 5 minutes to prepare and stores well in the fridge!
I feel sorry for Tofu.
Because first of all, it was named “tofu.”
Can you think of a less sexy-sounding word than tofu?
I sure can’t.
And second of all, I feel sorry for tofu because it’s often written off as a tasteless health food for barefoot-in-the-grass hippie people.
But tofu is great.
…it is!!!
I eat this dish all the time in the summer and I swear it’s more refreshing than a popsicle on a hot day.
It’s simple, tasty, cold, and yes, it’s healthy!
Chilled Tofu with Scallions and Soy Sauce
Ingredients
- 14 oz block of soft or medium tofu don't use firm tofu here
- 2 scallions sliced
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 tbsp sriracha
Instructions
- Whisk to combine the scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Take a little taste and make any adjustments you want to suit your own tastes.
- Slice the tofu into squares and bathe the tofu in the asian dressing. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour so the tofu can absorb the flavors and also get super cold. Eat and enjoy! See? It’s good stuff!
Thank you for this recipe, it is exactly what I was looking for.
Made this last night and it was wonderful! Thank you for an awesome recipe!
That’s fantastic, Danielle! So happy you enjoyed the tofu!
This recipe was AMAZING!! Thank-you- my only challenge will be not to eat it everyday. It satisfies all of the Asian-style flavors that I crave and enjoy so much.
YAY! Glad to hear it!
