Chilled Tofu with Okra and Umeboshi Pickled Plums
Okra and umeboshi go well together. This chilled tofu dish is perfect to enjoy during the summer.
Cut the okra while they are still raw, then blanch in boiling water. It's easier this way, and I feel that the okra stay crispy while becoming extra gooey. Just drain the boiling water in Step 3. After draining the hot water from the okra and letting them rest for a while in a sieve, they're ready when some of their gooey liquid starts to drip. For 3-4 servings. Recipe by aya2920

Chilled Tofu with Spicy Toppings Chilled Tofu with Spicy Toppings
I wondered, what would curry flavored chilled tofu taste like and tried it out, and when I tried it out, I really liked it.Put the topping mixture on the tofu as soon as you've added the flavoring ingredients. If you leave it sitting for too long it'll become watery.I've tried walnuts and almonds in this, and both worked well. Maybe other types of nuts will work too? Experiment around to find your favorite kind! For 1 serving. Recipe by John Lee Cooker -

Chilled Tofu with Crispy Sakura Shrimp and Sizzling Sesame Oil Chilled Tofu with Crispy Sakura Shrimp and Sizzling Sesame Oil
When I had this dish at an izakaya the sakura shrimp were soft and limp, so for my version I made them very crispy.Tip: Dry-roast the sakura shrimp until crispy. Important: Heat up the sesame oil until it's slightly smoky. The sesame oil will spit a bit when you pour it on the tofu, so be careful. For 1 serving. Recipe by Aroharokomoko
