Tofu with Enoki Mushrooms and Chinese Cabbage Ankake Sauce Tofu with Enoki Mushrooms and Chinese Cabbage Ankake Sauce
I wanted to eat something healthy and that'll also warms me up.You don't need to be picky about the ingredients or seasoning. Anything you like is fine.If the taste is too strong, simply dilute with water and increase the amount of the sauce (note that the liquid from tofu dilutes the sauce, so it is better to make the taste slightly concentrated at first).Microwave right before serving, so the tofu softens nicely.

Cod with Vegetable Ankake Sauce Cod with Vegetable Ankake Sauce
I combined in-season cod with some vegetables I had in the refrigerator, to make a Japanese-style dish.If you prefer to have lots of sauce, double the sauce ingredients.The key is to not flip the cod over too often when it's cooking. Leave it alone so that it can brown on one side, then turn over and brown the other side. This way they won't fall apart, and will have a crispy finish.If you want the vegetables to be crispy, don't stir fry them or simmer them in the sauce for too long. Recipe by oldice -

Tofu Meatballs in Sweet Vinegar Ankake Sauce Tofu Meatballs in Sweet Vinegar Ankake Sauce
I created this recipe because I wanted to make something healthy but filling! It should taste delicious even if it's a diet-friendly dish! I tried hard to come up with this recipe!Please taste the sweet vinegar sauce and adjust it to your liking before adding the katakuriko slurry. When the sauce is cooled, the taste becomes milder, so it's best to make it a little bit strong and vinegary! Please adjust the consistency of the sauce to your liking. Recipe by MPxo
