konnichiwa it's Nami from just one cookbook back with another video for you
and today I'm going to share how to make simmered koyatofu or we say koyadofu
I'll show you how to rehydrate freeze-dried tofu and cook delicious similar tofu
koya tofu doesn't need refrigeration
so it's great to keep it around when you need just one more dish to accompany your meal
now let's get started
pour hot water and soak 5 koyadofu for 10 minutes
while you wait for the koyadofu to expand, put 2 1/2 cups kombu dashi in a pot
add 2 tbsp mirin and 4 tbsp sugar
add 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1/2 tsp salt
mix all together and slowly bring to boil
wash koyadofu in clean water
squeeze the cloudy water from the inside of the koyadofu by pressing hard
change water to wash each koyadofu
cut each koyadofu into 6 square pieces
once the dashi-soy broth is boiling, add the koyadofu
simmer for 10 minutes on medium low heat
place otoshibuta on top
when it’s about to finish simmering, prepare the snow peas by removing the tough strings
add the snow peas in the saucepan and cook for 1~2 minutes
then transfer the koyadofu to a glass container
stack koyadofu neatly so it absorbs the dashi evenly
you can serve hot, at room temperature, or chilled after refrigerating for a few hours or overnight
put the koyadofu, snow peas, and broth in a bowl and serve
