Chilled Tofu with Spicy Toppings
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. If you leave it sitting for too long it'll become watery.I've tried walnuts and almonds in this, and both worked well. Maybe other types of nuts will work too? Experiment around to find your favorite kind! For 1 serving. Recipe by John Lee Cooker

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. Important: Heat up the sesame oil until it's slightly smoky. The sesame oil will spit a bit when you pour it on the tofu, so be careful. For 1 serving. Recipe by Aroharokomoko

Toasted Silken Tofu with Cheese
Since it's too cold to eat chilled tofu in the winter, I came up with a warm dish.Warming the tofu in the microwave and then topping with cheese and soy sauce cuts down on the cooking time.You could also serve this for when you run out of appetizers.Since the cheese melts, you can use sliced cheese too.I like that sliced cheese doesn't get too runny and slide off the tofu.Eat it with a spoon!

It's yummy regardless.
