Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups water, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1 inch sliced ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high, stirring until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Reduce heat to low and simmer the syrup for 10 minutes to infuse ginger flavor. Remove from heat and discard ginger slices.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp tapioca starch with 2 tbsp cold water to make a slurry. Whisk into the warm syrup until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Gently spoon 1 block of silken tofu into serving bowls, breaking it into large, soft chunks with a spoon.
Step 5
Pour the warm syrup over the tofu, letting it pool around the pieces. Serve immediately, warm or chilled.
Step 6
Optional: top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few red beans if you have them.
