Keeps the screen on · step-by-step guide · built-in timer
Gently dry the tofu with paper towels and place it on a serving plate in large cubes.
Peel and slice the century eggs.
Mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili oil, ginger, crushed garlic, and salt.
Arrange the egg slices over the tofu.
Drizzle the sauce over the top, then sprinkle with scallions and cilantro.
Chill the pidan doufu for 10 minutes, then serve.
💡 Tip: Cut the tofu without pressing down with the knife; silken tofu is fragile, so moving it with a wide spatula helps keep its shape.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve pidan doufu as a cold appetizer with jasmine tea, cucumber slices, and lightly spicy oil.
