Melting Tofu Gratin
Created by my mother who's great at cooking gratin and doria. This treasured recipe has been passed from our mother to my elder sister, and from my elder sister to me. And it will be passed on to our younger generations, too!
Thank you for all the fantastic ideas of using corn, king oyster mushrooms, komatsuna, rice, and mochi in this recipe.
-Make sure to drain the tofu.
-Adjust the amount of milk somewhere between 250-280 ml (add the milk in 2-4 batches to prevent lumps from forming).
-You can also sift the flour beforehand to prevent lumps (optional).
-Adjust the amount of cheese and panko to your preference. Use vegetables of your choice. Recipe by Nyankochansan

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Drain the tofu thoroughly beforehand. Cut off stems and shred the shimeji mushrooms. Rinse the spinach.
- 2
Cut the spinach into fourths or fifths and julienne the bacon. Cut the drained tofu into bite size.
- 3
Put the butter in a pan and saute the bacon, shimeji mushrooms and spinach until cooked through. Reduce the heat to low and sauté the ◎ ingredients.
- 4
Cook over a low heat. Stir well with a wooden spatula. Add the milk in a few batches and mix well. Once the overall texture is thickened, season with salt and pepper.
- 5
In a gratin dish, put the tofu, the mixture from Step 4, mayonnaise and cheese and panko in that order. Bake in a toaster oven until golden brown. Enjoy.

If tofu needs to be drained more than once, wrap in fresh paper towels a few times. Make sure it's thoroughly drained.

This is an additional comment in response to a question from a user. Use firm tofu to make voluminous gratin and use silken tofu to make smooth-textured gratin. My mother always used silken tofu. Personally, I like to use firm tofu when making this dish.

Making béchamel sauce is so much trouble. So, I mashed up some tofu and used it as a mock-béchamel sauce for this gratin dish. It actually turned out quite nicely.This dish is also nice to have some green onions mixed inside. You can even try pouring the gratin over boiled potatoes.Silken tofu makes the gratin creamy and smooth, while firm tofu makes it more satisfying. I like both!This menu is quite versatile. Please drain the tofu first if the amount of excess water bothers you at the end. Recipe by Mayo

Brown Rice Tofu Cream Gratin Brown Rice Tofu Cream Gratin
I was aiming for a macrobiotic gratin that doesn't use any animal products (milk, cheese, mayo etc.) You can get plenty of protein from the tofu, so you don't need to add any meat or bacon.If you don't have a food processor, you could substitute silken tofu for the firm tofu, and whisk vigorously until it becomes smooth. Even if there are a few lumps left, it'll taste delicious since it's tofu. If you increase the amount of firm tofu, make sure add a little soy milk as well. Recipe by Mujiko -

I've been making gratin several times lately,. Even when I get home late, they're easy, healthy, delicious and filling too, so I'm quite addicted to them.I wondered if I could make a simple gratin on my own, and looked in the refrigerator and came up with this.-Silken tofu has a smoother texture, but firm tofu is OK too.-Don't use the mustard packet that comes with the natto. If the natto didn't come with a sauce packet, use soy sauce instead.-If you are using small eggs, use 150 g of tofu. (But it's really up to you and what you prefer...there's no problem if you change the amounts of ingredients to your liking. Recipe by Myajima -

I like the taste of miso and mayonnaise, so I thought about what would happen if I made it into a gratin sauce. Everything used in this recipe was a result of needing to clean out my fridge.Different misos have different levels of saltiness, so adjust the amount used according to your taste.If the miso is too strong, then the whole thing just tastes like miso. I added yuzu pepper to give a Japanese flavor. If you don't have any, you don't have to use it. For serving 4. Recipe by Sa-chin310
