Spicy Tofu Chazuke 茶漬け (Vegan)
This is not similar to traditional Japanese chazuke at all, but it's definitely very tasty! 🍵
Chazuke, in its simplest form, is rice and green tea (or sometimes just hot water). It used to be a way to rehydrate old rice and was eaten by the poor, but it's now popular in Japan. There are even instant chazuke pots! 🇯🇵
My version is aimed at vegans and people who like spicy food! 🌶️

- 1
Ideally, you should use day-old rice. If you don't have any, cook some and let it sit for 30-60 minutes. The rice to water ratio is around 1:1.5. Best to use a rice cooker.
- 2
Cook some green tea. I suggest using Japanese gyokuro tea because its sweetness goes well with the rice. Sencha or other green tea is fine too, though.
- 3
Coat a pan with oil. Add some soy sauce and fry and flip the tofu cubes until they're slightly golden brown.
- 4
Chop the chillies into thin slices. I prefer fresh chillies, but you can fry them with the tofu as well.
- 5
Rehydrate the dried mushrooms in a cup of warm water.
- 6
Cut nori into thin strips. I suggest simply using scissors.
- 7
In a bowl, pour the tea over the rice. Add tofu, mushrooms, chillies, and nori. Add a dash of soy sauce to the tea and stir.
- 8
Chop spring onions into strips and add to the bowl, as garnish. Serve with some tea. Enjoy your meal!
