Steamed tofu is one of my favorite dishes. It is easy and fast to prepare. This is the dish when you want it light yet appetizing.

What do you need?

  • 1 packet soft tofu
  • 2 shallots, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oil

How to do it?

  1. Drain the water from the package of tofu and place it on a plate.
  2. Prepare a steamer and steam for 5 minutes and set aside.
  3. In a cooking pan/wok, heat the oil. Combine garlic and shallot and fry for 3 minutes, or until it turns golden brown. Remove from pan/wok.
  4. Mix sesame oil, soy sauce and dark soy sauce in a bowl. Pour over steamed tofu.
  5. Garnish with fried shallots and garlic. Serve immediately.

Hope you enjoy the recipe.
