Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the sauce: add light soy sauce, black rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil into a small bowl. Mix well.

Step 2

Unbox a package of soft silken tofu into a plate. (Refer to the picture illustrations above for a step-by-step guide on how to unbox tofu without it breaking apart.)

Step 3

Take a straw and poke multiple lines of holes in the tofu block. (This step is optional. It allows the dressing to penetrate the tofu and infuse it with flavor throughout.)

Step 4

Pour the sauce (prepared in step 1) over the tofu block. Place chopped scallions, garlics, cilantros, and chili powder on the top of the tofu.

Step 5

Heat vegetable oil in a small saucepan until it starts to smoke. Carefully pour the hot oil over the tofu. Gently mix the toppings with the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Optionally, you can add some cubed preserved duck eggs around the tofu block when serving.
