Steamed Tofu
Description
Steamed Tofu is prepared by cutting silken tofu into thick cubes placed on a plate to minimize breakage. The tofu is drained of excess water before steaming for 6 to 8 minutes, ensuring it remains soft and intact. A sauce is then prepared by heating oil and infusing it with garlic and scallion, then blending in soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, dried shrimp or roasted peanuts, coriander, Thai peppers if used, salt, sugar, and black vinegar. This hot sauce is drizzled over the steamed tofu, imparting a complex balance of savory, tangy, and nutty flavors while preserving the tofu’s delicate texture. The dish is served warm to enjoy the contrast between smooth tofu and flavorful sauce.
