👨‍🍳 Ohjeet

1
Prepare the tofu: Carefully drain the silken tofu. If it's in a plastic container, gently slide it out onto a cutting board or plate. If it's in a vacuum-sealed pack, open it and carefully pour out any excess water. The tofu should be very cold; ideally, it has been refrigerated for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight.
⏱️ 2 minutes
2
Plate the tofu: Gently place the block of chilled tofu onto individual serving dishes or one larger shallow dish. Handle it with care to maintain its shape.
⏱️ 1 minute
3
Add toppings: Evenly distribute the grated ginger and thinly sliced green onions over the top of the tofu. If using shiso leaves, sprinkle the chiffonaded leaves on top as well. Finally, scatter the bonito flakes over everything. The bonito flakes will 'dance' slightly from the heat of the tofu (even though it's cold, it's often not ice-cold) and their own natural oils.
⏱️ 1 minute
4
Season and serve: Just before serving, drizzle the soy sauce over the tofu and toppings. Taste and add more soy sauce if desired. Serve immediately while the tofu is still refreshingly cold.
