✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 1 block Silken tofu
• 2 Century eggs
• 1 tbsp Light soy sauce
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 tbsp Pickled ginger
• 2 Scallions
• 0.25 cup Bonito flakes

Steps

1. Unmold the tofu onto a plate in one confident motion. Pat the top gently — silken tofu bruises if you manhandle it.
2. Cut the century eggs into wedges and arrange over the tofu.
3. Drizzle with soy and sesame oil, then top with pickled ginger, scallions, and a snowfall of bonito flakes.
4. Serve cold, with a spoon. No cooking, ten minutes, and a perfect study in contrasts: creamy, funky, salty, and fresh.
