Microwaved Tofu with Butter, Soy Sauce and Chili Crisp
Ingredients:
- 1 16oz silken tofu
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp chili crisp
- Cilantro
- scallions
- Salt and pepper to taste
Steps:
- Scoop one 16-oz. package silken tofu into a microwave-safe bowl. Try to keep it intact, but don't worry if it breaks into a few pieces. Microwave on high until hot, about 3 minutes. Using a large spoon or small plate to hold back tofu, pour off liquid in bowl into sink. (You can also scoop out liquid with a large spoon; don't worry about getting every last drop.)
- Top tofu with 2 Tbsp. salted European-style butter, thinly sliced, and microwave until butter is melted, about 30 seconds.
- Drizzle with 1 Tbsp. soy sauce (not low-sodium), chili crisp and top with cilantro leaves with tender stems and/or thinly sliced scallions and season with freshly ground pepper if desired.
