Century Egg and Tofu Salad
A delicately balanced cold dish that showcases the harmony of smooth silken tofu and the distinctive, savory flavor of century egg (皮蛋). The tofu, with its soft, creamy texture, is the perfect base for the dark, rich century egg, which adds a unique, umami-packed flavor and a slightly earthy aroma.
Topped with scallions, a drizzle of soy sauce, and a dash of sesame oil, this dish is simple yet profound in flavor. The tofu's smoothness and the century egg's complex, pungent taste are offset by the freshness of the scallions and the aromatic oil, creating a dish that’s cooling, refreshing, and deeply satisfying.
