Ingredients for Honeycomb Tofu: 300g fresh and tender tofu, 30g ‘Taitaile Original Fresh’ reduced-sodium soy sauce, 10g fragrant rice vinegar, 10g sesame oil, 2g roasted white sesame seeds, 1 spring onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 2g saffron.
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients.
Step 2: Drain the excess water from the fresh tofu and cut it into cylindrical shapes (a mousse ring can be used for this). Do not waste the remaining tofu; it can be used to make other dishes, such as chicken-scratch tofu. Give the leftover ingredients a second life and reduce waste on the dining table. Step 3: Poke several holes randomly in the cylindrical tofu with a straw to create a honeycomb pattern. Step 4: Slice the spring onion into rings, peel and mince the garlic. Step 5: Prepare the sauce by placing minced garlic and spring onion in a small bowl, add white sesame seeds, 2 tablespoons of ‘Taitaile Original Fresh’ reduced-sodium soy sauce (for those who prefer a stronger taste, adjust the amount accordingly), 1 medium spoon of fragrant rice vinegar, and 1 medium spoon of sesame oil, then mix well. Being environmentally friendly can be as simple as using a bottle of soy sauce that reduces ink usage, like ‘Taitaile Original Fresh’ reduced-sodium soy sauce, which is packaged with recyclable and renewable design, contributing to Earth’s environmental protection by minimizing consumption as much as possible. Step 6: Evenly pour the prepared sauce over the tofu. Step 7: Arrange a few strands of saffron on top of the tofu. Step 8: Serve. Step 9: Take a bite and enjoy the superb taste; it’s a healthy and flavorful dish without worrying about gaining weight!
