Chilled seasoned tofu is a hot-weather favorite in Japan, but this tofu dish is a favorite year-round with sushi lovers worldwide. Custardlike tofu soaks up the flavor of the soy sauce it’s served with, so use the highest-quality, naturally brewed soy sauce you can get.
This dish is yummy with sliced avocado, broiled eggplant, or steamed asparagus.
Preparation time: 8 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
14 ounces (1 package) soft or silken tofu
Fresh gingerroot
4 teaspoons soy sauce, or to taste
Drain and rinse the tofu.
Cut the tofu block into 4 pieces.
Place each piece on a small plate.
Finely grate the gingerroot.
Thinly slice the scallions, then rinse and pat them dry.
Top each piece with 1/4 teaspoon of the grated gingerroot and 1 teaspoon scallions.
Serve with soy sauce on the side, 1 teaspoon per serving.
