Step 1
Drain any excess water form the package of tofu. Carefully remove the tofu from the packaging by flipping it over to a plate. I recommend to use a footed heat proof plate or dish that can withstand high temperatures (oven/microwave-safe).
Step 2
Slice the tofu into 1/2 to 1-inch (1.25 to 2.5 cm) thick pieces. Allow it to sit while you prepare the sauce.
Step 3
For the sauce, simply mix everything into a bowl. The sauce will be quite generous because you want it to soak the tofu.
Step 4
Drain any excess liquid that can seep out from the tofu.
Step 5
Prepare your steamer or a pan. I simply used a pan, added some water, and placed my footed serving dish over the water on the pan. I covered the pan and left the water to boil until it creates a good steam.
Step 6
Leave the tofu to steam for 8-10 minutes.
Step 7
Afterwards, carefully remove the dish from the pan. Be sure to use kitchen mittens since the plate will be hot. Remove excess water from the tofu.
Step 8
Pour over the sauce, garnish the tofu, and enjoy your tofu while it’s hot. You can enjoy this as a hearty side/starter, with rice, congee/porridge, with noodles, or even as-is.
