Notes

• The dish is meant to be served cold or at most room temperature. Would not advise to serve it any temperature higher than that.
• This dish relies heavely on the tofu. Ensure that you keep it chilled and try to get a tofu that is as fresh as possible. The sauce will add the flavour but a lot of the satisfaction is through texture and temperature.
• Garnishes are nice to add variety but is not necessary.
