Chilled Tofu Bites with Fresh Red Toon
Prep Time: 15 mins | Total Time: 30 mins | Servings: 3–4 | Key Microgreen: Red Toon
Made with Oh Micro! Red Toon Microgreens
Ingredients
- 1 block fresh silken or soft tofu
- Small pinch Oh Micro! Red Toon Microgreens
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp high-quality extra virgin olive oil
- Cold water & salt (for brining)
Instructions
- Prepare a bowl of cold water with a pinch of salt. Submerge the block of fresh tofu completely and let it soak for 15 minutes. (This cleanses the tofu, removes excess moisture, and helps it hold its shape.)
- Drain the tofu gently. Carefully cut the tofu into small, bite-sized cubes. Place each individual cube onto an appetizer spoon (or a small platter).
- Whisk together the soy sauce and olive oil. Drizzle a generous spoonful of the mixture directly over each tofu bite.
- Top each bite with a small cluster of fresh red toon microgreens. Serve chilled and enjoy immediately as a clean, refreshing palate cleanser or starter!
Flavor Profile: Fresh red toon microgreens carry a unique, aromatic onion-and-garlic flavor profile. Paired with smooth tofu and smooth olive oil, it creates a perfectly balanced bite without needing cooked aromatics.
