Preserved Eggs With Silken Tofu

Submitted by zorgclyde

"This is a classic Chinese recipe, and lots of variation exist. Traditionally it is topped with soy paste, but I love the slight sweetness of vegetarian oyster sauce. If you can find very fresh tofu from Asian market, it will give the dish even more flavor. Also try variation with pickled greens, scallions, or furikake. It can be eaten as a cold snack or a side dish."
