Cold Tofu Century Egg Dish
This summer has been a scorcher for us and even though we have our AC blasting in the house, I can’t help but to still crave for cold cooling foods. No one wants to eat heavy foods bogging you down and making you feel drowsy in this heat. I don’t know about you but cooler foods just make me feel more energized.
The price of tofu has skyrocketed where I live. A 300g tray of silken tofu went from 60 cents to $1.39. Crazy, right? But I’m still paying for it because I need my tofu fix. I guess that’s how they get you.
Cold silken tofu actually does not need to be cooked for consumption. I often eat it as a cold side dish, add it to salads or you can even blend it into dressings. It’s healthy and packed full of protein. Century eggs may not be for everyone but believe me when I say they are delicious! It has a jelly-like texture and creamy center. It’s used in both savory and sweet dishes. I grew up eating it and just love them. I can’t say the same for my kids though. They’re still learning to like them.
You can have this with rice for a complete filling meal or sometimes I just add some additional greens and eat it as is. It’s so good! So satisfying!

Can you make some equivalent to the century egg? I live in western MT and there's not a lot of ethnic offering in the food aisle here!
