Great as a snack or side dish.
so it’s not cold when you buy it? I’ve only known tofu from supermarkets - I never bought it at Chinese grocers or markets. Now I’m only getting it in the cold section at Costco so it’s always in the fridge at home. I prefer to eat it cooked and hot. Even at restaurants, or dim sum, I’ve never had it cold
what’s your ginger/oil “recipe” - I definitely like it as a dip but only had it with cold boiled chicken and definitely not with “wind dried” pork or duck (the duck is served more with a soy-based sauce)
