This dish is smooth and easy to eat, even when you don't have much of an appetite.
It's delicious chilled in the summer (but also great warm).
Recipe background:
As the weather got hotter, I wanted something cool and refreshing. I tried making this with ingredients I had at home, and my family loved it! Chilled tofu with savory sauce might become a staple in our house.

Ingredients

Serves 2–3 servings
  1. 8 1/2–12 oz silken tofu (240–350 grams)
  2. Edamame to taste (frozen is fine)
  3. 1egg
  4. 1 cupwater (240 ml)
  5. 1 teaspoonchicken bouillon granules
  6. 1 teaspoonsoy sauce
  7. 1 teaspoonmirin
  8. Pinchsalt
  9. 1/2 teaspoongrated ginger
  10. 1/2 tablespooncornstarch
  11. 1/2 tablespoonwater

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    For this recipe, I used individual round tofu packs (one per person). You can also cut a large block of tofu into portions.

  2. 2

    Boil the edamame and remove them from the pods. If using frozen edamame, thaw and remove from pods.

  3. 3

    In a saucepan, bring the water and chicken bouillon to a boil. Add the soy sauce, mirin, salt, and ginger. Taste and add a little more salt if needed.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the boiling sauce, stirring until it thickens.

  5. 5

    Beat the egg in a bowl. Slowly pour the beaten egg into the thickened sauce while stirring. Add the edamame, stir once with a ladle, and turn off the heat.

  6. 6

    For a cold version, chill the sauce in the refrigerator, then pour it over cold tofu just before serving.

  7. 7

    Whether serving cold or warm, pour the sauce over the tofu just before eating. (If serving warm, gently heat the tofu in hot water without boiling.)
