Description

This is a sweet and spicy silken tofu dish, similar to hiyayakko.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounce block silken tofu, cut into small cubes
  • 3 stalks scallions, finely chopped
  • 1 thumb size ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 tablespoon bonito flakes (katsuobushi)
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 tablespoon chili oil

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, and chili oil. Set aside.
  2. Transfer the tofu to a serving plate and top with green onions and grated ginger.
  3. Pour the sauce over the tofu and sprinkle with bonito flakes. Serve.

Notes

Because tofu releases a lot of water and will eventually water down the taste of the sauce, it’s best eaten fresh.
