Tofu Recipe

Prepare the Tofu

• Carefully remove the tofu from its packaging and drain any excess water. Pat the tofu dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes or slices, depending on your preference.

Prepare the Sauce

• In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced ginger, and minced garlic until well combined. This will be the marinade for the tofu.

Marinate the Tofu

• Place the tofu pieces in a shallow dish or container. Pour the prepared sauce over the tofu, making sure each piece is coated evenly. Allow the tofu to marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Assemble for Steaming

• Prepare a steamer basket by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to prevent the tofu from sticking.Arrange the marinated tofu pieces in a single layer in the steamer basket, leaving some space between them to ensure even cooking. 

Steam the Tofu

• Bring water to a boil in the steamer pot. Once the water is boiling, carefully place the steamer basket with the tofu over the pot. Cover the steamer with a lid and steam the tofu for about 10-12 minutes, or until heated through and tender. 

Garnish and Serve

• Once the tofu is steamed, remove it from the steamer basket and transfer it to a serving dish.Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.Serve the steamed tofu hot as a main course or side dish alongside steamed rice or vegetables.
