Step 1

1 Place the tofu on a heatproof serving dish, then cut it into 1/8-inch slices and push them down gently, so the slices lean toward one side

Step 2

2 Scatter the scallions over the tofu

Step 3

3 Stir together the soy sauce or tamari and the water

Step 4

4 Heat the vegetable or peanut oil in a wok or small skillet over medium-high heat

Step 5

5 Once the oil shimmers, pour a little of it over the scallions; if they don’t sizzle right away, the oil needs to be heated further

Step 6

6 Pour the rest of the very hot oil over the scallions (which will become quite fragrant), then the diluted soy sauce or tamari, and then the toasted sesame oil

Step 7

7 Serve right away
