FAQ
How can I reduce the pungency of the onion?
Soak the sliced onion in cold water for a moment to draw out the sharp pungency, then shake off the water before using.
Can I use other vegetables instead of radish sprouts or onion?
Mixed sprouts, iceberg lettuce, or any other vegetables you have at home work well according to your preference.
Is it okay to pour the sauce over in advance?
Water can seep out of the silken tofu and dilute the flavors, so it is best to plate the tofu and vegetables first and drizzle the sauce right before serving.
