SILKEN TOFU WITH SPICY SOY DRESSING
This recipe is inspired by the many cold silken tofu dishes from East Asia, like Japanese hiyayakko and Chinese liangban tofu. This no-cook dish is a handy one to have up your sleeve, especially for warm evenings when the desire to cook is nonexistent. Silky soft tofu is draped in a punchy soy dressing, creating a lively dish with little effort. The tofu is ideally served cold, but 10 minutes at room temperature can take the edge off. Make it your own with other fresh herbs such as Thai basil, mint or shiso leaves, or add crunch with fried shallots or roasted peanuts. A salty, fermented element like kimchi, pickled radish or ja choi, also known as zha cai, a Sichuan pickled mustard root, would work well, too. One block of silken tofu is usually enough to feed two people, but for a more substantial meal, serve it with hot rice or noodles to create a pleasing contrast of temperatures.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: Combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chile oil, sugar, sesame seeds and scallion in a small bowl. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
- Carefully drain the liquid from the package of tofu, and gently tip the block onto a kitchen towel. (Try to keep the block in one piece, if possible, but don't worry if it falls apart; it will still taste great.) Pat with another clean kitchen towel, removing as much liquid as possible. Transfer the blocks to one large plate or two smaller plates, and spoon the soy dressing over the top until the tofu is completely covered. Top with scallions and cilantro leaves, and eat on its own or with rice or noodles on the side.
SILKY PEANUT BUTTER DRESSING
Adding silken tofu to the base of this dressing both enriches it with a little added protein and lends it a satiny texture. You can adjust the amount of water added to create something thicker and dippable for crudités or thinner and drizzly for tossing into salads.

Steps:
- Combine peanut butter, lime juice, tofu, soy sauce, and 2 Tbsp. honey in a blender. Place ginger in a fine-mesh sieve and hold over blender. Press down on solids to extract as many juices as you can; discard solids. Blend on medium-high speed to combine. With motor running, add 1/4 cup hot water and blend until dressing is homogenous, lightened, and smooth. If desired, add more water by the tablespoonful until the dressing reaches your preferred consistency. Taste and season with kosher salt if needed.
- Arrange fruits and vegetables on a large plate. Transfer about 1/2 cup dressing to a small bowl, drizzle with honey and sprinkle desired nuts and/or seeds over (can be any/all/none). Transfer remaining dressing to a resealable container and chill for another use.
- Do Ahead
- Dressing can be made 5 days ahead. Keep chilled.
