This was on the menu at a sushi shop I visited. It was really nice, so I tried to recreate the taste at home.In the restaurant they topped the tofu with something like salty kimchi shiokara (salt preserved fish), but it's tasty enough with just kimchi.Adjust the seasonings to suit your tastes.

I wondered, what would curry flavored chilled tofu taste like and tried it out, and when I tried it out, I really liked it.Put the topping mixture on the tofu as soon as you've added the flavoring ingredients.

Experiment around to find your favorite kind! For 1 serving. Recipe by John Lee Cooker

On a TV program, I saw people from the Miura Peninsula, where shirasu baby sardines are made, make a tofu dish with natto and shirasu, so I adapted it to be more tasty and full of minerals, and uploaded the recipe here!!This dish contains a lot of the minerals that we tend to be deficient in!I used a 300 g block of tofu divided into 4 equal pieces, of which I used 2 pieces, which is why I listed it as 75 g x 2. You can use however much you like, though!Adjust the amount of toppings depending on how much tofu you use.With the amounts listed in this recipe, you can make 2 of the servings shown in the main photo. For 2 servings. Recipe by Anebuta

I often put garlic olive oil soy sauce with tomato on tofu, but it's also good if you add cut okra.Mince or grate garlic if you can. If you can't, the tubed variety of grated garlic can work. The key is not to slice okras but to cut them into blocks. They'll have a better texture this way. Peel the tomato skin if you don't like it. Recipe by Puyupuyu

This is a variation of my "Chilled Tofu with Spicy Toppings".Adjust the spiciness to suit your taste. Use whatever toppings you like.The nori will be more fragrant if you toast both sides.

Okra and umeboshi go well together. This chilled tofu dish is perfect to enjoy during the summer.Cut the okra while they are still raw, then blanch in boiling water. It's easier this way, and I feel that the okra stay crispy while becoming extra gooey. Just drain the boiling water in Step 3. After draining the hot water from the okra and letting them rest for a while in a sieve, they're ready when some of their gooey liquid starts to drip. For 3-4 servings. Recipe by aya2920

Some years ago my spouse shared a description of this dish, which he had been served at a restaurant somewhere, and I tried re-creating it.

This is one of my recipes that uses a really versatile Korean seasoning, which I always have on hand.It's still delicious without daikon radish sprouts Since you can store the listed seasoning long time, make a large amount and keep it on hand.

When I had this dish at an izakaya the sakura shrimp were soft and limp, so for my version I made them very crispy.Tip: Dry-roast the sakura shrimp until crispy.

I love mapo tofu, so I've tried many Cookpad recipes. As I was doing so I thought that maybe I could achieve a more sophisticated flavor easily by using kimchi. That's how I came up with this dish.There aren't really any tips in particular. I use a domestic brand of kimchi. Recipe by Kyoku

Whenever I begin dieting, I end up preparing this somewhat diet-unfriendly dish...If you're worried about the excess moisture in the tofu ruining the dish, drain it.Since the pork is cooked in sesame oil, it should have a bit of flavor, but add soy sauce, sake, sugar, mirin, etc. I try not to add anything else since I eat this while I'm on diet. Recipe by Ryoukocchi

I love kimchi. But my children don't really enjoy eating it, so I made just enough tofu simmer for myself. In the summer I top the kimchi on chilled tofu and eat just eat it like that.I personally like firm tofu better, but you can use silken tofu or fried tofu if you want.Since the tofu and kimchi can be eaten without being cooked, as soon as the meat has cooked, it's done.You can flavor it with as much sesame oil and soy sauce as you want. Recipe by Mo-ri- mama

When I don't want to cook anything I make hiyayakko. It's a traditional Japanese summer dish. No cooking - just tofu served with some toppings. And don't forget, tofu has a lot of protein in it!!! Enjoy the summer with Hiyayakko!

Since I love noodle dishes with soy-milk-based soup, I've tried making many dishes. But this is THE dish for cold noodles. This might seem like the ultimate lazy-person's recipe, but it's so good!I've tried this with somen noodles, but the udon was a better match for some reason. It's so delicious, when all you really do is combine the soy milk with mentsuyu. We use "Somi" brand's mentsuyu at our house. If you have thin udon noodles, you can make this dish in 5 minutes. It's a super easy-to-make dish. Recipe by moritaya
