Tofu and Carrot Salad with Mentsuyu

I wanted to eat lots of napa cabbage in a refreshing way.I divide the directions into many steps but I did it to make it easy to understand.In Step 3, I place the white parts of the cabbage on top to make sure they get enough salt but you don't need to be preciseAdjust the amount of mentsuyu (Japanese noodle dipping sauce) according the strength of its flavor and saltiness.

I make this salad whenever I have some leftover nori seaweed from an opened packet.I use a 3x concentrated mentsuyu.Adjust the amount of seasonings depending on how watery the vegetables are.I often use chirimen jako (cooked, salted and semi-dried tiny sardines) instead of seaweed. Recipe by MyT09

Deep-frying tofu is too much work, so I shallow-fried the tofu. I made it because I wanted to recreate a dish I used to have at a Japanese pub.It's a shame that I didn't have 'momiji oroshi' (spicy grated daikon radish) this time.You only need to fry the top and bottom of the tofu pieces at Step 3. You don't have to fry the sides.It's also delicious with 'momiji oroshi' (spicy grated daikon radish).I recommend eating this with cooked soba noodles. They're pretty tasty together. For 2 servings.

I always make rice bowls with meat, but they started to taste even better after I started adding some tofu too.Feel free to use firm or silken tofu, I personally prefer to use silken.Sprinkle over some green onions at the end for a bit of colour.Top off the rice bowl with any sauce left over in the pan at the end.If the flavour is a bit too thin for you, feel free to add some soy sauce or mirin.

I cooked this dish just because the expiration date of the tofu was approaching.There are no tips or helpful hints.The seasoning is only mentsuyu, so it's very easy!It might be good to sprinkle chopped green onions on top if you like. Recipe by Odorubiwacchi

This is my "super-lazy salad" that I eat quite frequently. Tofu and mentsuyu somehow go really well with cabbage. I wanted to share one of my healthy recipes with you guys.It's better to chop up the cabbage rather than shredding it!Since it's done in a flash, try prepping the tofu just before serving. It'll taste better that way. Please adjust the seasoning to your liking. If it tastes too plain, add a little more mentsuyu to adjust. Recipe by Pabuchan

I made this when I was out of dressing. It was really good, so I've been relying on it ever since.This is also good with mizuna greens or green bell peppers instead of cucumber.If you leave it standing for too long the tofu will start to exude moisture, so I recommend making it just before you plan to eat it. For 2 servings. Recipe by naganyo

Parboiling carrots make them very easy to eat, and this dish is is full of nutrition.Adjust the taste depending on the concentration of the mentsuyu. I had excellent results using koji miso. Try varying this recipe with broccolini, spinach, kabocha, etc. Recipe by Tamagomachan

Tofu Salad

Pretty much everybody knows this salad in Hawaii.It's actually supposed to be watercress, but I don't really like it and can't bring myself to eat it. I saw my friend make it with mizuna and so I took that tip from her. It's also good with cooked Spam. Recipe by Great3

I just came up with this.Don't mix the umeboshi in at the start. You can add as much as you like. It's also nice with shiso leaves instead of green onion. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
