Keto Vietnamese Silken Tofu
How to Make It
Step 1
Slice the tofu in half horizontally to create two flat and wide pieces. Plate them on separate plates. Set aside.
Step 2
Preheat a small saucepan over medium heat until hot. Add in the avocado oil and swirl the pan to coat it. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add to the pan.
Step 3
Cook the tomatoes for 1-2 minutes or until they are starting to soften and shrivel. Some of the juices should be released as well. Remove the pan from the heat. Add in the tamari and fish sauce.
Step 4
Swirl the pan to combine it. Spoon the sauce with the cherry tomatoes over the silken tofu evenly. You may not need all the sauce, depending on how much juice comes out of the tomatoes.
Step 5
Top the tofu with the chopped cilantro and scallion that has been sliced thinly on a bias. Serve immediately! Enjoy the contrast between flavors, textures, and hot/cold with this simple and easy dish.
