Cold Tofu Appetizer (Japanese Appetizer)

Category:   Appetizers & Snacks
Style:   Japanese
Special Consideration:   Quick and Easy
Servings:   4


Description:

From the internet.

Tofu is high in protein, calcium and B vitamins, yet low in fat.
Like the potato, it has very little taste of its own, instead taking on the flavor of whatever it's cooked with.

Preparation time is ~ 15 minutes.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp thinly sliced leek
10 ounces (or 300 g) silken tofu
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
2 to 3 tbsp soy sauce
2 to 3 tbsp dried bonito flakes

Directions:

1) Soak the leeks in a small bowl of cold water for 10 minutes, then drain. Place the drained tofu on paper towels and pat dry. Cut the tofu block into 4 equal pieces. Divide the tofu (carefully, since its silken tofu so its a bit soft) between 4 small bowls.

2) Divide the leek and ginger into 4 equal portions and place on top of the tofu. Drizzle over soy sauce and serve with bonito flakes on the side.
