Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wrap the tofu in paper towels, and let it sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to drain excess water.
- 2
Rinse the spinach well, then parboil for 2 minutes in a generous amount of boiling water, dunking the stalk in first (For those who dislike the taste of the pink part of the stalk, remove it. It's edible if well-rinsed. It's actually quite tasty!)
- 3
Once the spinach is parboiled, chill in cold water, squeeze out any excess water, then cut into 5 cm lengths.
- 4
Put the spinach from Step 3 into a bowl, then toss with the ● ingredients. Mash the tofu with your hands and mix it well with the spinach.
- 5
Add salt (not listed) to taste, then serve.
- 6
You can also cook the spinach in a microwave by wrapping it in plastic wrap after rinsing!

Simple Spinach and Konnyaku Shira-ae Simple Spinach and Konnyaku Shira-ae
I learned this recipe from my mother and wanted to record it here.It's important to properly remove the excess moisture from the tofu as well as the other ingredients.Either silken or firm tofu is fine, but since silken tofu has a lot of moisture, it may be more difficult to handle.Shira-ae is very simple. You can add carrots or string beans to the ingredients, if you like. Recipe by lulu88 -
