This warm tofu with spicy garlic sauce is a beautiful example of how simple ingredients can create a sophisticated vegan dish. By gently simmering soft tofu until heated through, you achieve a silky, melt-in-the-mouth texture that provides the perfect canvas for a punchy dressing. The sauce combines savory soy, toasted sesame oil, and fragrant Korean red-pepper flakes for a balanced heat that awakens the palate without being overwhelming.
Ideal as a light lunch or a versatile side dish alongside steamed greens and jasmine rice, this recipe is naturally high in protein and low in fat. The combination of toasted sesame seeds and fresh spring onions adds a welcome crunch to the soft tofu, making it a satisfying texture-rich meal. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a quick, nutritious midweek supper that does not compromise on bold, aromatic flavours.

Ingredients for Warm Tofu with Spicy Garlic Sauce
1 (14-to 500g ) package soft tofu (not silken)
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
35g chopped spring onion
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted and crushed with side of a heavy knife
45ml soy sauce
1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
1 teaspoon coarse Korean hot red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoons sugar
How to make Warm Tofu with Spicy Garlic Sauce
Carefully rinse tofu, then cover with cold water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then keep warm, covered, over very low heat.
Meanwhile, mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt. Stir together with remaining ingredients (except tofu).
Just before serving, carefully lift tofu from saucepan with a large spatula and drain on paper towels. Gently pat dry, then transfer to a small plate. Spoon some sauce over tofu and serve warm. Serve remaining sauce on the side.
