Tofu and Marinade

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tofu

    Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into cubes and place it in a shallow dish. In a separate bowl, mix tamari sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Pour the marinade over the tofu, cover, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Steamer

    While the tofu is marinating, prepare your steamer. Fill the bottom of a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil.

  3. 3

    Steam the Tofu

    Once the tofu has marinated, place the tofu cubes in the steamer basket in a single layer. Steam the tofu for 10-15 minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the steamed tofu from the steamer. Transfer it to a serving plate and sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
