Silken Tofu With Chives Japanese Style
- 15 ounces silken tofu (Japanese, Chinese, Korean- not firm tofu)
- 3/4 cup chinese garlic chives
- 6 tablespoons soy sauce (good quality, like Tamari brand)
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon chili oil (optional)
- 2 sheets nori (dry seaweed, small sheets about 2 x 3 inch, broken up into small pieces)
- Drain the Silken Tofu and cut up into bite size pieces (try not to break them up) and place into 2 individual bowls. Aside- Silken or soft tofu is preferred, but not firm/hard tofu.
- Wash the Chinese chives, remove the buds and cut up the green part into 1 inch pieces to make up 3/4 cup. Then sprinkle into each bowl. Aside- some people prefer to use the buds as well, also the chives are a little hard to the bite, so you might want to par-boil them or saute them in a little oil briefly to make them a little softer.
- Add soy sauce to each bowl, sesame oil, a touch of chili oil (optional) and pieces of seaweed as well.
- Enjoy.
