Ingredients

Cooking

  • 4 cups of water
  • 4" (10cm) dried kelp/ kombu
  • 400 - 900g smooth firm tofu

Dressing

  • Ponzu sauce
  • green onions, thinly sliced
  • shichimi chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Put water and kombu together in a pot and let boil, then turn down heat to medium low.
  2. Cut tofu into 6 - 12 blocks depending on how big a pack you bought. Add tofu to the pot, cover and cook for 7 - 8 minutes.
  3. Transfer tofu to small bowls, approximately 3 blocks per person and serve with ponzu sauce, a sprinkle of green onions and some shichimi spice.

Notes

  • If you cant find dried kombu, you can just use kombu dashi granules, one sachet should be about right :)
