The first time I tried this dish was soon after we met. I had eaten Tofu before, when i used to live in Singapore, but only in soups or hot dishes. When she served this small chunk of fresh tofu, I gingerly tried, and found it was delicious! I couldn't stop grabbing them with my chopsticks and eating them with extreme gusto. The soft cool tofu texture was balanced wonderfully with the combination of the sauces and the crispness of the raw vegetables on top. The next time GF made this dish, i urged her to teach me its simple recipe. And now even she she is not around, its a dish i make regularly by myself.
HOW TO PREPARE:
* Half pack of fresh tofu (medium firm to firm), rinse and dry;
* After placing it on the serving plate, slice it into small cubes;
* Season with salt and pepper, finely chopped sweet green pepper, spring onion and cilantro;
* Dribble some sesame oil (or chili sesame oil) on top; serve chilled;
(Add roasted sesame, soy sauce, or Japanese fish flakes to taste)
For a Western version of this dish, try to replace sesame oil with olive oil and green vegetables with chopped olives and add basil.
