Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb sesame tofu
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp dashi
  • 1 medium mirin
  • 1 lb scallions
  • a pinch toasted sesame seeds
  • 4 oz fresh ginger
  • to taste flaky salt
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the sesame tofu dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the sesame tofu, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
Keep cooking
