Hiyayako (Japan)

Hiyayako is the perfect simple and healthy midday meal during the attack phase or meat day of the Dukan diet. When an alternative to meat is desired, tofu is an excellent alternative. This is a cold tofu recipe, ideal for warm summer days when you are looking to eat something cool.

Ingredients

I half block of firm tofu, cut into 1.5 in cubes

1 diced green onion

1 teaspoon of fresh grated ginger

Low sodium shoyu (soy sauce)

Katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes, which can be purchased at a Japanese market)

Place the cubes of cold tofu on a plate. (You can serve it in a bowl over ice to keep it cold, but will have to put it on a plate to garnish it) Garnish with green onions, ginger, and shoyu. Sprinkle with desired amounts of katsuobushi and aonori. (Note: If you choose to use the Chinese chili garlic paste, mix it with the shoyu before pouring it on the tofu.

Eat with hashi (chopsticks) slowly to enjoy every bite!
