I made this when I was out of dressing. It was really good, so I've been relying on it ever since.This is also good with mizuna greens or green bell peppers instead of cucumber.If you leave it standing for too long the tofu will start to exude moisture, so I recommend making it just before you plan to eat it. For 2 servings. Recipe by naganyo cookpad.japan -

Yummy Chinese-Style Shabu-Shabu Pork and Crushed Cucumber Salad Yummy Chinese-Style Shabu-Shabu Pork and Crushed Cucumber Salad
I had 2 cucumbers left from some I'd bought on sale, so I decided to make a salad with them using ingredients I had in the refrigerator that could be served with rice. I don't like spicy food, and neither do my kids, but we all love this salad.If you shabu-shabu the pork in the boiling water it will get tough, so turn the heat off before shabu-shabu (waving it around) in the hot water. For 4 servings. Recipe by Chisora cookpad.japan -
Chinese-Style Jellyfish-Like Frozen Konyaku and Cucumber Salad Chinese-Style Jellyfish-Like Frozen Konyaku and Cucumber Salad
I came up with the idea for this recipe thinking that konyaku could be used as a substitute for jellyfish in Chinese style cucumber and jellyfish marinated salad, since frozen konyaku has a texture similar to jellyfish. I posted this recipe because the dish came out very tasty, and the frozen konyaku gave an interesting texture, although it would not be mistaken for jellyfish.Complete the first three steps of the recipe a day before. Once the prepared materials are frozen, cooking takes very little time. The konyaku to be used should not contain fresh yam. That type of konyaku tends to be too crispy, and so is not recommended for this recipe. Reasonably-priced regular konyaku would do fine. Recipe by Poron526 cookpad.japan -
