Step-by-Step Instructions for 5-Minute Savory Silken Tofu
  1. Start by gently removing the silken tofu from its packaging. Using a paper towel, carefully pat the tofu to remove excess liquid.
  2. Once the tofu has been prepped, invert it onto a serving plate, supporting it with both hands to prevent breaking apart.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together soy sauce, your choice of sugar or honey, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Add freshly minced garlic and finely chopped green onion, stirring well.
  4. Pour the savory sauce generously over the plated silken tofu, ensuring even distribution. Finish with toasted sesame seeds as garnish and serve immediately.
