香菜云丝 Tofu Skin with Cilantro

Pinyin: Xiāng Cài Yún Sī

Sesame oil is one of those things that can make or break a dish with just a drop or two. It's amazingly potent stuff and should be used with caution. But damn when you mix it with Cilantro it just becomes friggin great.

The cilantro sort of balances out the sesame oil and then the tofu skin adds the substance. Since I've never seen tofu skin in America the closest thing I can relate it to would possibly be a crepe.

Oh ya this is an appetizer, and it's neither served hot or cold, just sort of room temperature, and it's vegetarian, and it's got tofu in it, so it's "gasp" healthy for you.
