Cold Tofu In Onion Oil

If you love tofu, this is as easiest as it can get.  Use soft tofu or semi hard 'white' tofu, both works for me.  This tofu here is actually half of a leftover tofu i have in my fridge.  The other half i used it yesterday to cook Creamy Tofu Soup. This recipe is super easy as you do not need to cook the tofu. It can be eaten cold. You may steam it if you like it really hot but be sure not to over steam it as it can loose its nice appearance.

Ingredients:
  1. Soft Tofu, 1/2 pcs
  2. Salt, 1/3 tsp
  3. Oyster sauce, 1/3 tsp

Garnishing:
  1. Red Onion, 1 bulb, minced
  2. Red Chilli, 1/2 pcs lengthwise, julienned
  3. Spring Onions, few stalks, chopped
  4. Oil, 1 1/2 tbsp

Method:
  • Rinse tofu, halve it [so it is not too thick], rub salt and oyster sauce over tofu.
  • Set aside in a dish.
  • Lay Red Chilli on top of tofu.
  • Heat Oil in wok. 
  • Fry onions till golden brown and dish out onto the tofu, on top of chilli.
  • Sprinkle chopped spring onions on top of it and it's done.

Note:  The hot oil from frying the onions will partially heat up the tofu and that will create a hot and cold sensation when you bite it.
