I used my "Spring Ginger Simmered in Honey"and referred to a tofu cookbook I bought recently to come up with a healthy dessert that is perfect for the summer.

You can leave out the matcha tea powder and moist amanatto, but if you add them they will counteract the tofu-ness of the tofu, and it will taste a bit like uji kintoki (a sweet bean and green tea flavored treat).
Use a good quality silken tofu. Recipe by John Lee Cooker

Steps

1

Put the ● ingredients in a pan and bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar. Turn off the heat, let it cool down a little and transfer to a container. Chill well in the refrigerator.
2

Cut the silken tofu into easy-to-eat pieces, and drain lightly.
3

Put the tofu on a plate, pour the chilled sauce from Step 1 over it, add amanatto and matcha, and serve.
4

※ I used moist amanatto (nure-amanatto) but use the kind of sweetened or candied that you'd prefer.
5

If you use candied beans, you may want to give them a quick rinse. It's up to you.
6

I made the soup here with grated ginger and dark brown sugar. It's rich and delicious!
7

f you use grated ginger from a tube, you may need to add a little more, since tubed ginger tends to be a bit light in flavor and aroma.
