Instructions
- Put the soy sauce, bean paste, sesame oil, and sugar in a small bowl. Add half the garlic and half the scallions. Mix it all together.
- Carefully remove the silken tofu from the package. First, slice the plastic around the block of tofu, and then use a paring knife to separate the tofu from the sides of the box. Then turn it over onto the serving bowl. Slice the tofu crosswise into 1/2 inch (1.2cm) thick slices. If using, arrange the pieces of century egg around the tofu.
- Drizzle the sauce over the tofu, and garnish with the rest of the garlic and scallion on top. You can also garnish with a bit of chopped cilantro and/or Thai basil. Stir everything together at the table, and enjoy!
