Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Drain the 8 oz fermented tofu and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 1/2-inch cubes if not already cubed.

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tbsp chili oil and 1 tbsp soy sauce until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the chili-soy mixture over the tofu and gently toss to coat every piece evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Thinly slice the 1 scallion and sprinkle over the top. Serve immediately or let sit for 5 minutes to absorb flavors.
