Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring brown sugar, minced ginger, and water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Lower heat and simmer the syrup for 2 minutes to infuse the ginger flavor, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  3. Step 3

    Gently scoop the silken tofu into two serving bowls, keeping it as intact and jiggly as possible.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the warm ginger syrup over the tofu, allowing some to pool around the sides.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately while the syrup is still warm and the tofu is silky.
