Silken tofu is gently braised with plump shrimp in a light, savory broth. This high protein, low calorie dish is perfect for a 1200 calorie or dash diet plan and makes an elegant family dinner.
Pat shrimp dry and toss with 1/2 tsp cornstarch for a firmer bite; slice scallions and ginger finely for aromatic base.
Cut silken tofu into 1-inch cubes, draining well to maintain shape. Arrange tofu gently on a plate to avoid breaking.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat, add sesame oil, then sauté ginger and most of the scallions for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and soy sauce, bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, and carefully layer tofu cubes in the broth.
Cover and braise tofu for 6 minutes undisturbed, then add shrimp evenly, continuing to simmer until shrimp turn pink, about 3-4 minutes.
Mix remaining cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water, drizzle into the pan while gently swirling, and cook 1-2 minutes until broth slightly thickens.
Sprinkle white pepper and remaining scallions before serving hot, being careful not to over-stir to preserve tofu integrity.
