Silken Tofu with Spicy Olokoi Chili Sauce

Simple. Silky. Bold.

This silken tofu dish comes together in minutes, but delivers layers of flavor.

Cool, delicate tofu is topped with a vibrant chili sauce made with Olokoi, sesame oil, low sodium soy sauce, and gochugaru. A touch of honey (or agave) balances the heat and brings everything together.

It’s light. It’s protein-packed. It’s deeply satisfying. And it requires zero cooking.

Why This Recipe Works

Silken tofu has a soft, custard-like texture that absorbs flavor beautifully. Instead of overpowering it, the sauce enhances it:

• Olokoi adds citrus, chili, and savory depth
• Sesame oil adds richness
• Soy sauce builds umami
• Gochugaru brings warmth and texture
• Honey (or agave) balances the heat

The result? A dish that feels intentional and elevated, but takes less than 10 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients:

• 1 package silken tofu
• 3 tablespoons Olokoi
• 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons gochugaru
• 1 tablespoon honey, sugar, or agave

Optional toppings:

• Fried garlic
• Fried shallot
• Fresh green onions
• Sesame seeds

Directions:

1. Drain the water from the tofu package.
2. Carefully transfer the tofu to a shallow bowl or plate (it’s delicate, so handle gently).
3. In a separate bowl, combine Olokoi, soy sauce, sesame oil, gochugaru, and sweetener. Mix well.
4. Pour the sauce evenly over the tofu.
5. Add optional toppings for extra texture and flavor.

Eat as is, or serve alongside warm rice for a comforting, balanced meal.

Texture Tip

For added contrast, sprinkle fried garlic or shallots right before serving. The crunch against the silky tofu makes this dish unforgettable.
