Ingredients

Scale

12 ounce block silken tofu, cut into small cubes

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, and chili oil. Set aside.
Transfer the tofu to a serving plate and top with green onions and grated ginger.
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.
