Microwaved Tofu With Butter and Soy Sauce

Method

1. 1

   Scoop one 16-oz. package silken tofu into a microwave-safe bowl. Try to keep it intact, but don’t worry if it breaks into a few pieces. Microwave on high until hot, about 3 minutes. Using a large spoon or small plate to hold back tofu, pour off liquid in bowl into sink. (You can also scoop out liquid with a large spoon; don’t worry about getting every last drop.)

2. 2

   Top tofu with 2 Tbsp. salted European-style butter, thinly sliced, and microwave until butter is melted, about 30 seconds. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp. soy sauce (not low-sodium), then top with cilantro leaves with tender stems and/or thinly sliced scallions and season with freshly ground pepper if desired.
