Instructions

Prepare the tofu

Carefully remove the silken tofu from its package and drain excess water. Place the tofu on a serving plate. Cut into 1-inch cubes while keeping the block intact.
Prepare the century eggs

Peel the century eggs carefully, rinse lightly if desired, and chop them into small cubes or pieces. Set aside.
Make the sauce

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the sauce and stir to combine.
Assemble the dish

Arrange the chopped century eggs on top of the tofu. Drizzle the prepared sauce evenly over the tofu and eggs. Make sure to cover most of the tofu with the sauce for maximum flavor.
Garnish and serve

Sprinkle the chopped green onions and cilantro over the dish. Serve immediately at room temperature or chilled as a refreshing appetizer or side dish.
