Super Quick Cold Tofu with Scallion and Sesame Seeds – Vegan

cake

This recipe works better with silken tofu: the best Tofu I found it’s the Mori-Nu organic Tofu. This tofu comes in an eco-friendly box, which is easy to store and has a great shelf life. The idea of mixing soy sauce with XV olive oil was inspired by the Japanese Chef of Sushi Nanase (Westchester, NY) who worked in Milan for a while and adopted some of the ingredients of the italian cuisine.

*I usually buy the regular soy sauce and add 1/3 of filtered water. It’s much cheaper and you can regulate its flavor.
