This dish is called "Shira ae" in Japanese. It means "dressed with white". It's like a tofu dressing. Very nutritious!!
My recipe is not the traditional way to prepare it because I don't have the right Japanese cooking utensils. I'm sure the taste is still pretty good!
1 pack of tofu (silk)
1/2 bunch of spinach
2 small carrots
**You can use any kind of vegetables :)
Mixture #1
1 tbs sake
1 tbs mirin
2 tbs soy sauce
2 tbs brown sugar
1 tbs salt
2 tbs ground sesame seeds
1 tbs creamed sesame seeds
Wrap the tofu with paper towels and put into the microwave oven for about 15 seconds. This is an easy to remove extra water from the tofu. Cut the spinach into 1 1/2 inch segments and boil about 1 minute. Using a strainer, remove spinach from the pot and shock it in cold water. Squeeze the spinach to remove excess water. Thinly cut carrots and boil about 2 to 3 minutes.
Combine the mixture #1 ingredients. Mash the tofu and add the #1 mixture, stir to combine and then add spinach and carrots. Toss together.
