Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 15 ounces silken tofu (japanese, chinese, korean- not firm tofu)
• 3/4 cup chinese garlic chives
• 6 tablespoons soy sauce (good quality, like tamari brand)
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon chili oil (optional)
• 2 sheets nori (dry seaweed, small sheets about 2 x 3 inch, broken up into small pieces)

Recipe

• 1 drain the silken tofu and cut up into bite size pieces (try not to break them up) and place into 2 individual bowls. aside- silken or soft tofu is preferred, but not firm/hard tofu.
• 2 wash the chinese chives, remove the buds and cut up the green part into 1 inch pieces to make up ¾ cup. then sprinkle into each bowl. aside- some people prefer to use the buds as well, also the chives are a little hard to the bite, so you might want to par-boil them or sauté them in a little oil briefly to make them a little softer.
• 3 add soy sauce to each bowl, sesame oil, a touch of chili oil (optional) and pieces of seaweed as well.
• 4 enjoy.
