Scooping up rough slabs of the block with a spoon, divide the tofu evenly between 2 bowls, or among 4 if you are serving as an appetiser. Drizzle each portion of tofu with 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon chilli oil, and 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil. Top with minced zha cai, scallions, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
