Remy Morimoto Park’s two-minute tofu from Sesame, Soy, Spice is a super quick and high-protein vegan dish. It’s perfect for when you need something tasty in a hurry. You start by draining a package of silken tofu, then mix a simple sauce with chili crisp, tamari, mushroom oyster sauce, sesame oil, and a little sugar. Drizzle the sauce over the tofu, top it with sliced scallions, and finish with flaky salt. That’s it!

This dish is great because it’s easy to make and packed with protein from the tofu. You can enjoy it cold, or heat it up by steaming it. It’s a great snack, but also works as an appetizer or even a quick topping for rice or noodles. The chili crisp and tamari give it a savory kick, making it super flavorful.

If you’re ever in a pinch and need something fast, this two-minute tofu is a go-to recipe. It’s simple, nutritious, and full of umami goodness.
