I’m starting to appreciate Tofu more. I decided to give a Korean twist to a popular Japanese dish, Yu tofu.

Korean Style Yu Tofu


Ingredients:

1) Medium to Firm Tofu
2) Dashi *either pre-made or make your own
3) Seaweed Salad
4) Nori
5) Seasame Seed
6) Negi (green onions)
7) Red Pepper
8) Sugar
9) Sesame Oil

Procedure:
1) Prepare the Chili Sauce. Dice the green onions, and mix it with water, dashi, red pepper, sugar, and sesame oil. Set it aside.
2) Boil Tofu in Dashi until it gets slightly brown on the outside. *This adds subtle taste to the plain tofu.
3) Take the tofu out, and top it with the chili sauce, seaweed salad, nori, and sesame seeds.

    I think tofu is one of those things that you appreciate the older you get. I know, I sure do now, too. Your version looks very similar to what my mother-in-law used to make for my husband when he was a child. It was good then, and still is now.

  6. Yum, I love this dish. Nice new site design, btw. I like it!

  7. alecho says:

    Carolyn: yeah, you are right about the tofu. As I age, I am definitely appreciating it more. Mom’s always have the best recipe. I actually learned this from mah mom too ;)
