cold tofu

cold tofu_hot for food

The easiest and final Japanese inspired dish that I made for the Toyota family picnic is simple cold tofu. Now I like tofu, but this might be an acquired taste. But have an open mind! It’s very light and has a lot of flavor from the tamari and green onions, and it’s a nice compliment to the salty and saucy yakisoba and fried yam tempura.

There’s also four ingredients in this dish, and it takes a quick 10 minutes to throw together! Get rid of any beliefs that tofu has to be fried or made crispy to be delicious. This will surprise you and hopefully turn you into an official tofu fan!

You can also put the tofu in a glass container with a lid along with the sauce and let it sit in the fridge to serve later or the next day.
