When I don’t want to cook on a hot summer day OR I am just simply too tired, cold Silken Tofu can be a meal. In Japan, there is a dish called ‘Hiyayakko’, that is the dish of chilled soft Tofu enjoyed with a variety of sauces and vegetables OR condiments. I was going to make it today, but the Tofu accidentally broke into pieces, and the dish ended up such a salad. However, it was really good and I quickly took a photo. This is how I made it.
