Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the seaweed. Rinse it thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Cut the seaweed into bite-sized pieces, about 5-6 cm long. Bring a pot of water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Add the seaweed and blanch for about 1-2 minutes, until it turns a vibrant green. Immediately transfer the blanched seaweed to cold water to cool, then squeeze out any excess water firmly with your hands.
Step 2
Next, drain the tofu. Wrap the tofu in paper towels and press gently to remove as much water as possible. Place the drained tofu in a bowl and use a fork or spoon to mash it until it’s smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no large lumps. It’s nice to leave some texture rather than mashing it completely fine.
Step 3
Now, combine the mashed tofu and the squeezed seaweed in a large mixing bowl. Add the soup soy sauce, toasted sesame seeds, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Gently mix everything together with your hands or a spoon until well combined. Finally, taste and add a pinch of salt if needed to adjust the seasoning to your preference. This completes your delicious Seaweed Tofu Salad!
