1. 1
   Remove the silken tofu from the package and use a paper towel to absorb excess surface moisture. Leave it in the package for about five minutes to drain and concentrate the flavour.

2. 2
   Prepare the aromatics: finely dice about half an onion, roughly chop garlic cloves, and slice the spring onion.
   ▶ ≈2:42
3. 3
   Heat oil generously in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the diced onion and chopped garlic, and cook gently until golden brown—about five minutes—without allowing them to scorch or brown too quickly.
   ▶ ≈3:57
4. 4
   Once the garlic and onion have reached a nice deep brown colour, add soy sauce and a pinch of sugar, then remove from heat.
   ▶ ≈4:36
5. 5
   Turn the drained tofu out onto a serving plate and squeeze gently to release any remaining moisture. Pour the warm infused oil mixture with garlic and onion over the tofu, and garnish with spring onion before serving.
