Silken tofu is paired with a spicy ginger-garlic soy sauce and finished with fresh scallions, creating a lighter interpretation of the traditional Sichuan dish. Zen Modern Asian Bistro takes a contemporary approach, emphasizing the aromatic qualities of ginger and garlic over the numbing intensity of Sichuan peppercorns. The result is more accessible to those seeking heat without the traditional peppercorn tingle. The dish reflects the restaurant's modern Asian sensibility while maintaining respect for the core flavors.
