Have you heard of “Hiya-yakko” which is cold tofu topped with dried bonito flakes, minced green onion, and soy sauce?
I guess it is the most popular finger food using tofu, and I am the one who love to eat it with some beer.
When I make the cold tofu at home, any topping is welcomed actually!
I like to put some salt kelp (“shio-konbu” in Japanese), kimchi, myoga ginger (Japanese ginger), and so on.
It is the time to share an arranged cold tofu recipe using okra and miso paste.
Although soy sauce is the only choice for cold tofu’s sauce usually, today’s special sauce should be another choice from now on. It’s a little spicy and has great flavor of garlic!
Sticky and tasty okra is matching so well with this great sauce too.
Please enjoy the new style of Japanese cold tofu!
