Yudofu

Yudofu is a soothing and simple Japanese hot tofu dish, perfect for a healthy vegan breakfast. Served with a light dipping sauce, it highlights the delicate flavor of fresh tofu and can be customized with various toppings.

Ingredients

• Silken tofu - 300 grams
• Dashi stock (vegan) - 500 ml
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Mirin - 1 tablespoon
• Chopped green onions - 2 tablespoons
• Grated daikon radish - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Nori seaweed (sheets) - 1 small piece, cut into strips

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegan dashi stock to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
2. While the stock is heating, carefully cut the silken tofu into squares (about 4 pieces) and set aside.
3. Once the dashi is simmering, gently add the tofu pieces to the pot, being careful not to break them.
4. Allow the tofu to warm in the dashi for about 5-7 minutes, ensuring it is heated through but not boiling.
5. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and mirin to create the dipping sauce.
6. Once the tofu is warmed, carefully transfer it to serving bowls using a slotted spoon.
7. Ladle some of the warm dashi broth over the tofu in each bowl.
8. Top the tofu with chopped green onions, grated daikon, sesame seeds, and strips of nori.
9. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
