ingredients
- 1 (14 ounce) package regular tofu
- 2 2 cups vegetable stock or 2 cups dashi
- 1⁄4 cup dark soy sauce
- 1⁄4 cup sake or 1/4 cup rice wine
- 1⁄4 cup mirin or 2 tablespoons sugar
- sliced green onion, for garnish
directions
- Wrap tofu in cheesecloth and freeze overnight (or up to 2 weeks). The tofu will turn yellow and leathery.
- Run hot tap water over the frozen block until the cheesecloth can be removed. Put tofu in a large pot of boiling water for 15 minutes, until it softens.
- Bring stock, soy sauce, sake and mirin to a boil in a medium pot. Cut tofu into 1" cubes and add to simmering liquids. Simmer 25 minutes over medium-low heat, until the tofu has absorbed all but 1 tbsp of liquid. Sprinkle with sliced green onions before serving.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
