Hot Sesame Oil Tofu
Chilled tofu dish topped with hot (almost sizzling!) sesame oil, soy sauce, green onions, and furikake. Refreshing and easy to make. My go-to lazy lunch.

Ingredients
- 1 block soft tofu about 14 ounces
- 2 stalks green onions chopped
- 1 tablespoon furikake
- 1.5 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
- Remove the tofu from the package. Rinse and drain. Do your best to maintain the rectangular tofu brick shape and cut the tofu into small blocks. (I first cut the tofu into three "floors", then four cuts across the short side, and six cuts on the long side).
- Top the tofu with the chopped green onions.
- Heat a small pan to medium heat. Add the sesame oil and heat until the oil gets super fragrant and nutty. Just as it begins to smoke (about 1-2 minutes), turn off heat, and quickly pour the hot sesame oil over the tofu. It should make a slight smoke/sizzling sound.
- Top with the furikake and soy sauce. Eat with rice!
