Steamed Silken Tofu


A simple dish easy to prepare for summer when the heat doesn't inspire one to do much cooking and the appetite leans towards something light.  The tofu can be eaten cold or hot.

One package silken tofu (the softest one)
2-3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 tsp sugar (optional)
chopped green onions
vegetable oil
fried shallots (available in Chinese stores)
Dried pork floss (肉松)

For cold tofu, just remove from package and follow below.
For hot tofu, place tofu on plate and steam for 5 min. Drain liquid.
Heat vegetable oil, fry chopped green onions for few seconds.
Mix soy sauce with 1/2 tsp sugar.
Pour hot oil and green onions ove tofu, pour soy sauce over it, top with fried shallots and pork floss.
