Xi'an Cold Silken Tofu With Sauce

We visited China this past summer and while we were in Xi'an, the home of the ancient terra cotta warriors, we found a vegetarian restaurant near a pagoda we went and visited right outside the city wall. It was a beautiful place with really nice dishes. We got a hot pot with mushrooms (enoki, shiitake, other ones we don't know the names of) and we got this side dish. Sooo good!

1 package tofu; silken
3 T. Hoisin Sauce ; I used soy vay garlic hoisin
3 T. soy sauce; low sodium
1 clove garlic, chopped
3 stalks of green onion; sliced
1/2 sheet of nori cut up thin.
Carefully put the tofu into a dish. The reason why i say carefully is because silken tofu is very tender and it's super super easy to break it into little bits and then it gets messy. So proced with caution. Pour the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, or what ever marinades over the tofu and then sprinkle on green onions and garlic. Cut up the nori or seaweed very thin with scissors and lay it over the top. Chill in the refrigerator.
