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.

This is a delicious and healthy recipe. The tofu is a great source of protein, and the tomatoes are packed with vitamins and minerals. I like to serve it with a side of steamed vegetables.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I usually use canned tomatoes, and it still turns out great. I also like to add a few chopped mushrooms to the sauce.

This recipe is so easy to follow. I'm a beginner cook, and I had no problems making it. The tofu turned out perfectly, and the sauce was delicious. I served it over rice, and it was a hit with my family.

I made this dish for my vegetarian friends, and they loved it. I used extra-firm tofu, and it held up well in the sauce. I also added a few drops of sesame oil to give it a bit of an Asian flavor.

This is a fantastic recipe! I've been making it for years. I usually add a little bit of chopped fresh basil at the end. It really brightens up the dish.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a hit. I like to add a little bit of chili powder to give it a bit of a kick. It's a great dish to serve at parties or potlucks.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat tofu. The tomatoes and soy sauce make it taste like a familiar dish, and the tofu is so soft and silky that they won't even notice they're eating it.

This is a simple but delicious recipe. I used firm tofu, and it held up well in the sauce. My husband said it was one of the best tofu dishes he's ever had.

I'm not a big fan of tofu, but this recipe changed my mind. The tofu is so flavorful and pairs perfectly with the tomatoes. I'll definitely be making this again.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I also added some chopped bell pepper and onion, and it was even better. My whole family loved it!
