Method

• Put silken tofu on serving plater. Cut it widthwise into short planks. Let water drain off tofu and pour off.
• In a small pan gently heat soy, black bean garlic sauce, cider vinegar, sesame oil, chilli-garlic sambal, and sugar.
• Once gently simmering, add garlic. Reduce heat and cook on low for another 2-3 minutes to let flavour develop.
• Add chopped nuts.
• Pour this prepared sauce over the tofu.
• Springle cilantro and green onions over the tofu.
• Serve with jasmine rice. Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added protein and taste.
