The other day, when I was not feeling well, I wanted to eat something soft and comforting. I had Silken Tofu, so I decided to cook this Rice Bowl. Probably it took me less than 5 minutes to cook it as I used leftover cooked Rice. If you are tired and feeling a little down, try this dish. It is very comforting and actually quite nutritious.
Makes
1 Serving
Ingredients
150g Silken Tofu *broken OR cut into chunky pieces
1 Egg *whisked
1/2 tablespoon Potato Starch OR Corn Starch *mixed with 1/2 tablespoon Water
1 serving warm Cooked Rice
Finely chopped Spring Onion
1/4 sheet Nori *torn in to small pieces
Sauce
1/2 cup Chicken Stock *OR 1/2 cup Water & 1/2 teaspoon Asian Chicken Bouillon Powder
1 teaspoon Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Mirin
Salt & White Pepper
*Note: Today I added 1/8 teaspoon Salt, but you should season it very lightly, especially when you are not feeling well.
Method
- Combine all the Sauce ingredients in a small frying pan OR saucepan. Alter the amount of Salt to suit your taste.
- Bring to the boil and gradually add Potato Starch (OR Corn Starch) mixture stirring well. The sauce thickens instantly, add Silken Tofu and mix to combine.
- Pour the whisked Egg over the Tofu pieces, gently mix, then remove from heat. DO NOT overcook the Egg.
- Half fill a bowl with warm Cooked Rice and cover it with the Tofu and Egg mixture. Add some Spring Onion and Nori, and enjoy.

When I saw this on Facebook I had to try. Sorry to hear you weren’t feeling well. Hope you are better now. I adore your website. Easier to use than Cookpad. Especially since it’s your recipes I want!

Joan. How have you been? We have moved house recently. Just before the move, my husband donated his kidney and he was basically useless with packing and moving. My son was not well with his back issue and I did almost everything alone. Cleaning the house as well. I was just exhausted and became unwell, but I am doing well now. Have a lovely festive season, Joan.
