Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup (½ pint) cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 block silken tofu, about 12 ounces, chilled
Toasted sesame oil
Thinly sliced scallions (optional)
Thinly sliced basil (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan or skillet, combine the tomatoes, soy sauce, olive oil, and many grinds of black pepper. Place over low heat and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, just until the tomatoes start to soften and juices collect in the pan.
  • Carefully cut the tofu into 2 wide slabs (or 4 smaller ones) and place on plates or in shallow bowls. Divide the warm tomatoes on top. Add a judicious drizzle of toasted sesame oil, then sprinkle with scallions and basil, if using. Serve immediately.
