When I was in Singapore, I tasted a dish called fragrant tofu: a slab of hot silken tofu covered with a meat and herbs topping. I absolutely loved it, it was like a savoury creme brulee!
So recently I have bought some silken tofu, and it stayed in my fridge until I was reminded of my intent by an article about baked tofu I read on the internet. So my intents gave birth to a cross between fragrant and baked, hence the title!
And today, I wanted to eat something healthy and tasty, easy, and most of all satisfying.
Hence I knocked my own version of fragrant tofu with what I had in my fridge and baking it because I fancied it caramelised:
- 1 slab silken tofu
- 1 big slice of ham chopped in small squares
- 1/2 big green chilli chopped
- 1 spring onion chopped
- 1 teaspoon full of chopoped ginger
- 1 dash oyster sauce
- 2 tblspn sesame oil
Place the tofu on a small oven dish, mix all the other ingredients together and cover the tofu with it.
Place in the oven for 1/2h at 200 degC

Also, the same dish could be steamed, and I reckon it would be pretty tasty too!...

Your baking method sounds interesting and unique to me! My version of fragrant tofu is: steam the tofu and discard the water. Then sautee the ingredients until fragrant and pour over the tofu. Give it a try!

Well, it is really unique, as I was first thinking of doing the steamed fragrant tofu, but I saw some articles about baking tofu and decided to bake it fragrant, lol!
It was very tasty, and yes I will definitely do the steamed version too.
