Japanese Leek Gratin with Sake Lees and Tofu White Sauce

Adding sake lees to the tofu white sauce really boosts the flavor, and makes the sauce really warming. Furthermore, it's no trouble since all you have to do is mix together the ingredients! I've tried making this a number of times with whatever veggies I have in my fridge, and it goes surprisingly well with most things. A great all-purpose sauce.
Since this uses cheese, you can replace the Japanese leeks with potatoes and make potato gratin just as you would with regular white sauce Don't drain the tofu before adding it. Simply mixing the ingredients together will cause the flavors to meld - a really simple way to make white sauce! Recipe by kebeibiko
