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.

By Darshana Thacker Wendel,

Ingredients

  • ½ of a 12.3-oz. package silken extra-firm or firm tofu, drained
  • 2 teaspoons black sesame paste
  • ¼ teaspoon wasabi paste
  • ¼ teaspoon tamari
  • 1 tablespoon chopped Japanese chives (garlic chives) or scallion

Instructions

  1. Cut tofu into six ¼-inch-thick pieces. Arrange on a platter.
  2. In a small blender combine sesame paste, wasabi paste, tamari, and 1 tablespoon water. Cover and blend until smooth. Drizzle sauce over tofu. Sprinkle with chives.
