We are still in THTC (too-hot-to-cook) mode here with at least another couple of days of extreme heat coming at us. So this delicious vegetarian recipe for Silken Tofu with Spicy Soy Dressing from cookbook author and NYTimes cooking contributor Hetty Lui McKinnon made perfect sense: no-cook, 5 minutes prep time, and bam! Dinner is served.
