Thousand-Year Egg (Pi Dan) Tofu (皮蛋豆腐) is a childhood favorite cold dish that's refreshing and so simple to make! Tastes great by itself or as a side dish with rice or congee. So easy to make — takes less than 10 minutes and you don't even need to turn on the stove!
Unpackage the tofu and place it into your serving dish. Slice the tofu into 1/2 inch thick pieces.
Top the tofu with 2 thousand-year eggs (quartered) and 3 tbsp of pork sung. Drizzle 2-3 tsp soy sauce and 2 tsp sesame oil over the dish. Then, top with 2 green onions (thinly sliced) and 1 small handful of cilantro (chopped, optional).
If you use tofu that is more than 12 oz, be sure to adjust all other ingredients and seasonings accordingly otherwise the flavor will be too bland!
Serve immediately while cold/cool.
Tip: The dish is meant to be eaten a little mixed/mashed up so all the flavors combine with each bite. Mix the dish at the table after presenting it as it doesn't look as aesthetic after mixing.
