Ingredients

1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Kosher salt
One 12-ounce package silken firm tofu, drained and cut into 4 equal pieces

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce with the ginger and oil; season with salt. In a medium saucepan of gently simmering water, heat the tofu just until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
