This eye-catching dish might be simple to make, but its flavors are deliciously complex! Silken tofu soaks up a succulent sauce loaded with rich umami and spicy heat. Be sure to prepare the sauce in a blender so that it thoroughly emulsifies. Sprinkle everything with fresh chives or scallions for an elegant appetizer or a quick main dish when you’re craving Asian flavors but are short on time.
