Japanese Macaroni Salad with Tofu Japanese Macaroni Salad with Tofu
I had leftover tofu. I didn't have vegetables to make a salad. I gathered the ingredients that I had at home, then I made this Japanese salad.If you use tofu as is, the salad will be watery from the water content in the tofu.You don't need to drain the excess water completely, but drain until no more water comes out from the tofu.You also have to drain excess water from the macaroni, otherwise the ponzu sauce won't be absorbed well, so be careful.

Rolled Tofu with Broth Rolled Tofu with Broth
This recipe is very Japanese dish, like one of the Japanese kaiseki. Simmered in lightly seasoned broth for a little bit longer time (about 20 ~ 30 mins) with a low heat. Eat with the thickened broth. For your taste, when thickening, you can add a small quantity of sake and soy sauce. It's also good to have cool tofu with warm thickened broth.

Bacon and Tofu stir-fry in Japanese Style gravy Bacon and Tofu stir-fry in Japanese Style gravy
Japanese style stir-fry with gravy (It's called "An-kake, pronounced "kakay"). Made with whatever I found in the fridge. You can use any vegetable or meat for this dish. I used home-made bacon to add flavor, but you can omit it if you are vegetarian. I would have added mushrooms if I had them. The gravy (An) is usually made with potato starch as a thickener, but you can use corn starch (or corn flour) if you don't have it. By the way, "kake" means to "pour over" so an-kake is a dish with gravy on it.

Okonomiyaki (Japanese Savoury Pancake) with Tofu Okonomiyaki (Japanese Savoury Pancake) with Tofu
I come from the Kansai region, so I love okonomiyaki! My Singaporean husband also loves it. It's easy to eat a lot without thinking, I added tofu and hijiki as a healthy choice. It turns very soft and delicious. We both ate too much of this!!This mixture is little bit soft, so please be careful when you turn it over! First cook one side very well until nicely golden brown, then slowly turn it over. If you add more flour, it will be easier to flip, but I cook with less flour. It's also easier if you cook it in smaller batches. This recipe is vegetarian, so if you're not, add some pork or seafoood. For 2 servings. Recipe by Lantana -

Soft Simmered Inari With Sauce Soft Simmered Inari With Sauce
Small fried bean curd skins and tofu were cheap so I tried making this with them.You don't have to drain the water from the tofu. If you choose a pan in which the bean curd pockets fit exactly, they won't fall apart and will look great when done. A frying pan may work too. If you pile the pockets up high on a big plate and pour the shiny smooth sauce over it, it will be a very eye-catching dish. I can usually make this in under 30 minutes. Recipe by Chako@hokkaido -
Light and Fluffy Tofu Tsukune Patties Light and Fluffy Tofu Tsukune Patties
I didn't have enough ground meat... but I remembered I had tofu, so I prepared this! We also like to put tofu into hamburger patties.Use carrots, shiitake mushrooms or whatever vegetables you like. I recommend microwaving the vegetables before mixing them in since the tsukune patties are very soft. If you find it hard to form the mixture into patties, just drop into a hot frying pan using 2 spoons. Cook through thoroughly on low heat. Recipe by Mama usako
