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!
