JAPANESE CHILLED TOFU



Japanese Chilled Tofu image

Silken tofu is sometimes packaged in shelf-stable boxes, rather than refrigerated. Garnishes such as bonito flakes, shiso, and nori can be found at Asian supermarkets such as 99ranch.com.

Time 12m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 green onion, thinly cut crosswise and separated into thin rings (about 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon)
1 pound silken tofu, medium tofu, or tofu pudding, chilled
1 tablespoon finely grated, peeled fresh ginger
Japanese soy sauce or seasoned soy concentrate
2 tablespoons dried bonito flakes (Katsuobushi)
2 tablespoons finely shredded fresh green shiso leaves
1 full-size sheet toasted nori, briefly held over an open flame to recrisp, then snipped into 2- to 3-inch-long thin strips

Steps:

  • Put onion in a small bowl; add water to cover. Let soak for 10 minutes. Drain well; pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Prepare tofu: Open tofu and invert onto a plate. Use paper towel to blot away excess liquid. If using medium tofu, drain on lint-free towel or 2 stacked sheets of paper towel on a plate.
  • Cut medium or block tofu into 1-inch cubes or 1-inch-thick dominoes; arrange in a shallow bowl or individual dishes. (If using tofu pudding, scoop up large shards with a metal spoon, putting into shallow bowl or individual serving dishes.) Before serving, pour off any whey.
  • Drizzle with soy sauce. Top with green onion, ginger, and optional garnishes (or leave tofu naked and let diners choose their own toppings).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 packages (12 ounces) extra-firm silken tofu, liquid drained
1/4 cup mirin (rice wine), or sake
3 tablespoons natural soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh ginger juice
1/2 teaspoon wasabi powder
Fresh cilantro, leaves whole
Crushed red pepper flakes
Cucumber, diced
Ginger, grated
Nori, toasted, cut into 1-inch-by-1/2-inch strips
Pea tendrils, torn into bite-size pieces
Radishes, sliced, cut into thin strips
Red chile peppers, thinly sliced
Scallion greens, thinly sliced
Sesame seeds, toasted
Snow peas, blanched, thinly sliced
Wasabi paste

Steps:

  • Cut tofu in half widthwise. Keep the pieces stacked and cut lengthwise into thirds (creates 6 rectangles), and then cut the tofu horizontally (slicing parallel to work surface) into quarters to create 24 cubes, each about 1 inch. Repeat with second package of tofu for a total of 48 pieces. Place tofu in a serving bowl and nestle the bowl in a larger bowl filled with crushed ice. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, place dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well blended; set aside.
  • Prepare 5 or more condiments and place each in a separate bowl or dish. Serve tofu family style in its chilled bowl with condiments, dipping sauce, and individual serving dishes.

10 BEST JAPANESE TOFU RECIPES THAT ARE EASY AND HEALTHY

Category Recipe Roundup
  • Teriyaki Tofu. Teriyaki tofu is an excellent introductory recipe into the wonderful world of Japanese tofu dishes. Despite the seemingly long list of ingredients, beginners will find this one easy to make.
  • Agedashi Tofu. Agedashi is a very popular appetizer in Japan. It involves lightly coating tofu with potato starch then frying it in oil. The contrast of the crunchy exterior and melt-in-your-mouth interior is a divine experience.
  • 15-Minute Miso Soup with Greens and Tofu. The combination of cold weather and stress can take a toll on the immune system. My remedy for this situation is this 15-minute miso soup.
  • Japanese Hamburg Steak. Hamburg steak is sort of like a version of Japanese meatloaf. You form one inch patties out of ground beef and tofu, then fry and steam.
  • Goya Champuru. Goya champuru is an Okinawan savory stir-fry that is a melody of balanced flavors. While I’ve had my fair share of stir-frys, I’ve never had anything quite like this.
  • Easy Vegan Sushi. Ask me if I want sushi and I’ll never say no. However, I know not everyone is keen on the thought of eating raw fish, which is why this recipe is perfect.
  • Mapo Tofu. Mapo tofu is one of those comforting winter vegetarian recipes I love to save for chilly days. Originally Chinese, this Japanese version takes silken tofu and bathes it in a savory, spicy sauce that’s thickened with bean paste.
  • Tofu Yasai Don (Tofu Vegetable Rice Bowl) You can never go wrong with a big steaming bowl of rice, tofu, and veggies. They make up a flawless fusion of plant-based ingredients that you can doctor up in endless ways.
  • Tofu Pizza. I think it’s safe to say that pretty much every culture loves pizza. However, the Japanese version is mind-blowing! This remarkably unique veggie pizza substitutes traditional pizza dough for tofu.
  • Yudofu (Japanese Boiled Tofu) While fried and baked are common ways to cook tofu, you can boil it too like yudofu. Yudofu is perhaps the simplest way to prepare a thick slab of tofu.
