Spicy Cold Silken Tofu

1 block of silken tofu, drained

1 scallion, chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

½ tbsp. gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)

1 tbsp. sesame oil, lightly heated

2 tbsp. soy sauce

1 tsp. honey (or agave for vegan)

2 tsp. rice vinegar

2 tbsp. cucumbers, brunoise

1 tbsp. jalapeños, brunoise

Toasted sesame seeds, garnish

Drain silken tofu on a paper towel. No need to press since it might break!

Lightly heat sesame oil over medium heat. Make sure you take it off heat before it begins to smoke (should take about a minute or so)

To a heat safe container, add chopped scallions, minced garlic, and gochugaru. Carefully pour hot sesame oil over.

Add soy sauce, honey rice vinegar, cucumbers, and jalapeños to the sauce. Mix well.

Spoon the sauce on top of the tofu. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
