It might've looked alright with some spring onion and sesame seeds on top, but I was out. Delicious though
Silken tofu and rice, with a mix of Lao Gan Ma chilli crisp, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.

Nothing shitty about this, it looks pretty good. I've never tried silken tofu, got any tips or recommendations?

It's very soft, like a set custard or pudding texture, so won't hold up to a lot of cooking. You can use it in mapo tofu or stews like sundubu jjigae, but I just have it straight from the packet with some rice and a sauce. It's very mildly flavoured, so you can also use it instead of vegan yoghurt or cashew cream to make sauces, or when you want to make a dish 'creamier'.

Thanks for the info!

Looks great. Incredibly, I have never eaten tofu (not common at all where I live) and every time I see something like this I remember that I have to try it. We have great rice and chili oil, though, so I'm almost there.

Looks like a makeshift Mapo tofu

Definitely a basic-bitch, 'can't be bother to cook' version

Oof, that looks like at least a year's worth of sodium in the chili crisp. Also has the lau gan ma company removed the carcinogenic ingredients yet?

It's the first I'm hearing of this, so I'll have to check that out. Thanks

Don't get me wrong, the chili crisp is amazing. It's like crack :D I literally can't get enough
