Method
Preparation of Tofu
- 1
Press the Tofu
Wrap the firm tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top (like a cast iron pan) for about 15 minutes. This will help to remove excess moisture.

Cut the Tofu
After pressing, cut the tofu into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
Steaming Process

Prepare the Steamer
Fill a steamer pot with 500 ml of water and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
- 4
Steam the Tofu
Place the tofu cubes in a heatproof dish that fits inside the steamer. Once the water is boiling, place the dish with tofu in the steamer and cover with a lid. Steam for about 10-12 minutes.
Serving
- 5
Prepare the Sauce
While the tofu is steaming, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and finely chopped green onions in a small bowl.
- 6
Serve the Tofu
Once the tofu is done steaming, carefully remove it from the steamer. Drizzle the sauce over the tofu cubes and serve immediately.
