http://japanese-food.orgI am Japanese and now live in the United States with my husband. Since then I started my Japanese recipe website to help people learn about the nutritional value of traditional Japanese food, and more importantly, how to make traditional Japanese food with ingredients we can get easily at many local grocery stores in the US. I learned the recipes on this website from my mother, so this site is devoted to real Japanese home cooking! I try to introduce here easy homemade Japanese recipes so I cut out the need of burdensome traditional processes that don’t have an effect on their taste so much.

This is a home-cooking variation of a recipe that I saw on TV.Make sure that the wooden spatula touches the bottom of the pan as you mix and heat the tofu in the pan.Since this recipe uses kudzu starch, the tofu will become hard and less creamy if you chill it too long. Please try to eat it as soon as possible. Recipe by Mahojo

Buddhist (Vegan) Sesame Tofu Buddhist (Vegan) Sesame Tofu
At Zen temples, part of the training includes the preparation of Shojin Ryori, or vegan Buddhist cuisine. There is one monk who said, "After making sesame tofu every day for several decades, I finally know what Shojin Ryori is." It's deep. I recommend taking the time to prepare this like a monk in training Especially since it comes with a delicious reward!Turn off the TV or radio, empty your mind, and put your heart into grinding the sesame seeds.It's more authentic if you use kudzu powder, but since I've never used it, I don't know the difference. It's good enough with katakuriko...at least for a low-budget person like me. Recipe by Ebiko -

Sesame Tofu Sesame Tofu
I usually use kanten, but I made this with kudzu starch since I had a lot at hand. It turned out great with an authentic texture.It's better to use 100% kudzu starch (without mixing in with sweet potato starch or tapioca flour).Remember to strain the mixture! It'll taste the same, but it'll have a cleaner finish. For example, the tofu in the picture was made without straining. Recipe by @niko -
