Flames are how much people loved it, not how spicy it is.

A block of chilled silken tofu turned out whole and dressed with soy, sesame oil, ginger and scallion. No cooking at all, and on the table in five minutes.

Plan it:

Method

  1. 1

    Turn out the tofu

    Open the tofu and drain off the water. Invert the block onto a shallow dish in one movement, since silken tofu breaks if you fight it, and let any remaining liquid run off.

  2. 2

    Dress it

    Spoon over the soy sauce and sesame oil, then scatter the ginger and scallions across the top.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Add chili flakes to taste and serve straight away, breaking into the block with a spoon.

Notes

Use the softest tofu you can find: the silken kind sold in a shelf-stable box, not the firm block from the chiller. Serve it cold, since warming makes it weep.
