I created this dish with the initial intention of making a simple hiyayakko (cold silken tofu with soy and scallions). What a surprise it was when I tasted it; sweet and umami filled with a hint of sesame oil and heat! This sweet and spicy tofu recipe has a very distinct Schezuan flavor and it’s something I’ve been making on a regular basis ever since. My husband cannot believe how much he likes this dish, last night he said “if you’d told me 15 years ago that I was going to like and crave tofu this much, I would’ve called you crazy!” As you can see, there’s nothing boring about this dish and it’s also very healthy!
