My mother used to make this for me often, so I came up with my own version.
We love sesame seeds!

I recommend roasting and grinding the sesame seeds. They'll taste much better that way.

Shira-ae is great with chrysanthemum leaves, spinach, or a variety of greens.
Use your choice of veggies to stimulate the palette.
For optimum taste, drain the excess water from the tofu. For 4 servings. Recipe by Arisu2000
