Yudofu
Yudofu, or hot tofu, is a simple and comforting Japanese dish made by gently simmering tofu in a flavorful broth.
Ingredients - Serves 4
- Bonito flakes - 1/2 cup
- Green onions - 2, thinly sliced
- Mirin - 1 tablespoon
- Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
- Kombu (dried kelp) - 1 piece
- Water - 4 cups
- Silken tofu - 1 block
Let's Get Started
- Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
- In a large pot, add the water and kombu. Let the kombu soak for about 15 minutes to extract its flavor.
- After 15 minutes, remove the kombu and bring the water to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the soy sauce, mirin, and bonito flakes. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the broth to remove the bonito flakes.
- Return the broth to the pot and add the tofu. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the tofu is heated through.
- Serve the tofu and broth in bowls, garnished with the sliced green onions.
