Vietnamese Steamed Tofu - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb firm tofu, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons soy sauce (reduced sodium is best)

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (less if you prefer less spicy foods)

Fill a steamer with 1/2 c water and bring to boil.
Place entire bowl into steamer, cover, and steam over medium heat for 25 minutes. Add boiling water to bottom of steamer if it begins to run low.
