Steamed tofu with black garlic vinaigrette
“I’m adding versatile tofu to my must-use list for 2024. It’s a canvas for flavour. With the black garlic vinaigrette, it becomes sweet, tangy and full of umami. The sweet greens add another flavour note but feel free to use any seasonal veggies.”- Clement Pedro
