Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) package soft tofu

3 tablespoons Szechuan preserved mustard greens (or homemade pickled mustard greens)

2 thousand year-old eggs

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

3 scallions, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

Directions

  1. Lift the tofu out of its liquid, and cut the tofu into 3/4 inch cubes. Place the cubes on paper towels and let drain, about 15 minutes.
  2. Remove the shells from the thousand year-old eggs and roughly chop each egg.
  3. Rinse the preserved mustard greens to remove excess salt, drain, and mince. Place mustard greens in a bowl, along with the chopped egg, cilantro, scallions, sesame oil, rice vinegar and soy sauce. Gently toss to mix the ingredients.
  4. Place the tofu on a platter and top with the chopped relish. Serve immediately.

***ALERT*** Do not try this recipe unless you're the adventurous type or you're of Chinese origin. Thousand year old eggs are fermented duck eggs (the appearance is black) and can be found in Chinese supermarket specifically. I personally love the unique flavor of the eggs and combined with the tofu and the seasonings, it's actually a very refreshing dish.
