Ingredients
- 12 oz silken tofu or firm tofu (momen tofu)
- 1.8 oz red onion or sweet onion or Japanese leek (naganegi)
- ½ tsp grated garlic
- 1 tsp Chinese-style chicken bouillon powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Place a weight on top of the tofu and let it sit for about 30 minutes to draw out any excess moisture. After draining, tear it into bite-sized pieces by hand or cut it with a knife, then place the pieces in a bowl.
- Finely chop the red onion (or sweet onion or Japanese leek) and add it to the bowl. Add grated garlic, chicken bouillon powder, salt, and sesame oil, then gently mix everything together, being careful not to break the tofu too much.
Notes
- You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
