Taiji Tofu

Last updated 2026-11-14 — Main ingredient: tofu. Secondary ingredients: walnut kernels, sesame seeds, egg white. Seasonings: olive oil, salt, pepper, chicken bouillon. Method Step 1: Take one block of tofu and mash it with a spoon; roast three walnut kernels over low heat without adding any oil until fragrant. Add two teaspoons of roasted sesame seeds and blend them together in a food processor. Step 2: Place the mashed tofu, walnut kernels, and sesame seeds into a container, then add an appropriate amount of olive oil, salt, pepper, chicken bouillon, and the egg white from one egg, and mix well. Steam in a steamer basket with white lotus seeds and longan flesh for 10 minutes. While steaming, you can boil leafy greens such as spinach, finely chop the leaves, and ideally blend them into a vegetable juice in a food processor. Step 3: Once the tofu is steamed, proceed to garnish it. Carefully carve the Taiji (yin-yang) symbol’s dividing curve on the surface of the tofu using a knife, then evenly sprinkle green chopped leaves on one side. Using a small knife, gently cut out a circular thin slice from the white side of the tofu, place it over the green side, and then fill the hollow left behind with the chopped greens.
