香菜拌素鸡 Chopped Cilantro and Suji

Pinyin: Xiāng Cài Bàn Sù Jī

I've only ever eaten this dish once, but damn was it good. It's so simple its stupid. It amounts to sliced suji, cilantro, and sesame oil all mixed together, no cooking involved.

When I had it, it was served not cold, but not hot either, just sort of room temperature. It was one of the first dishes on the table and was just an appetizer.

Suji is something I've only ever seen in China and if you want it you'll probably have to hit up an Asian grocery store, or just come to China. It's a sort of tofu and you'll sometimes see it translate as vegetarian chicken or duck. Suji is made by tightly rolling layers of tofu film together and working a little magic (I don't know the full process and it's damn hard to find on Google).
