Ingredients

1 block silken tofu
3 sprigs Green onion chopped
1 tablespoon light soy sauce light soy sauce is best but dark is OK
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil toasted sesame oil
chili oil optional, to taste
sriracha sauce optional, to taste
sesame seeds optional, to taste

Instructions

Gather the ingredients.
Place the silken tofu on a plate. If you find the silken tofu is weeping, drain it using a paper towel to soak up the water or tilt the plate over the sink to pour out the excess liquid.
Cut the silken tofu into cubes. You may need to be careful when halving the block of silken tofu height-wise. Don't cut your hands and avoid squishing the tofu.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the silken tofu.
Mix the soy sauce and sesame oil in a bowl. Pour the sauce over the silken tofu and green onions.
Garnish with sesame seeds (optional). Serve it with the chili oil or sriracha if you would like a touch of spiciness. Enjoy your silken tofu with green onion!
