  • Mochi & Dango Dumplings Sweets Tofu & Soy Protein

    ‘Mochi’ is Japanese rice cake made of short-grain glutinous rice. It is similar to ‘Dango’ but the texture is a lot more rubbery and gooey. It is not easy to make ‘Mochi’ at home from scratch, but this ‘Tofu Mochi’ is absolutely easy. It looks like ‘Mochi’ and texture is the same, and it is …

  • Curry Tofu & Soy Protein

    Tofu, Cashew & Potato Curry

    This is another ‘Tofu Curry’ that I cooked on a meat-free Monday. As some people find Tofu tastes ‘yucky’ even in such a strong curry flavour (and I hardly understand that), I added Cashews. The creamy nutty Cashews and Tofu go very well together. Use Indian Curry seasoning or Asian Curry seasoning. Both work well …

    Fried Tofu With Spicy Garlic Sauce

    ‘Agedashi Tofu’, a very popular Japanese Tofu dish, can be enjoyed with a sauce of any flavours. This time I tried a spicy garlic sauce.

    Tofu Cream

    I want to suggest this cream alternative to those with lactose intolerance. Ingredient is just Silken Tofu, that is the softest and very smooth type Tofu made by coagulating thick soy milk without curdling it. As Silken Tofu has high water content, I recommend to drain off the excess water before blending it into cream. …

    Tofu Soboro Green Curry
