Silken Tofu With Soy-Sauced Tomatoes

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan or skillet over medium-low heat, heat the olive oil and soy sauce.
2. Add the tomatoes, a couple pinches of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Heat on medium-low for 6-8 minutes, until the tomatoes soften and start to blister. The juices will collect in the pan and start to reduce.
3. In the meantime, carefully cut the tofu into 2 wide slabs, or 4 smaller ones, and place in shallow bowls. Spoon out the tomatoes over the tofu, dividing them between the bowls.
4. Add a grind of pepper and a pinch of salt to each bowl, and drizzle with sesame oil. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
5. Optionally, sprinkle with sliced scallions and/or basil chiffonade basil.
