Step 1

Peel off the cover of the silken tofu box. Place several layers of kitchen paper towel over then flip over. Leave to sit on a flat surface allowing the paper to absorb any excess water.

Step 2

While waiting, prepare the sauce. Add oil, scallions and garlic to a small saucepan (keep some scallions for garnishing). Leave to simmer over low heat until the aromatics become golden. Turn off the heat then stir in chilli flakes if using. Finally, add light soy sauce, black rice vinegar and sugar. Mix well.

Step 3

Flip over the tofu and carefully remove the kitchen paper. Place a serving plate upside down over the opening of the tofu box. Turn it around and gently lift up the box.

Step 4

Pour the sauce over the tofu. Garnish with scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
