So I'm trying to see if I can stick with this diet where you stay away from sugar and carbs for two days of the week, and get back to your normal diet for the rest of the week. Tofu is my go-to food to kick off the new diet.

Tofu with Zhacai Chili Oil Topping
1/3 of tofu
1 Tbsp Chinese pickles, zhacai, chopped
Drizzle of sesame chili oil
Drizzle of soy sauce
Cut tofu into 3 inch cubes. Plate them on a small dish. Top them with chopped Chinese pickles and drizzle with sesame chili oil and soy sauce. Serve room temp or chilled.

| I always have this jar in my fridge. Such a versatile condiment. |
The crunchy, salty zhacai and chili oil are great accompaniments for bland blocks of tofu. These pickles have a pungent smell and flavor, but they're absolutely addicting once you taste them.

| Drizzle this... |

| on the blocks of this.... |
 |
| and top them with these.... |
 |
| Tada! |
