Yudofu (best in winter)

from the kitchen of a friend


1 pack of the freshest, best tofu you can get (look for organic tofu or ones made from only Japanese soy beans, usually written on the label to avoid GM soybeans)
dashi (shiitake and konbu dashi is very good and you can avoid fish)
finely chopped negi (spring onions)
freshly squeezed yuzu juice
toasted, ground sesame seeds
daikon oroshi
grated ginger
Soy sauce

Cook the tofu cubes in dashi for just a few minutes, then serve in small bowls with a little of the sauce. Have the condiments on a small plate or in small bowls so people can add their own. Pour on a splash of shoyu and eat. This is my favorite winter food, along with oden, and so easy! You can also add vegetables like hakusai, shungiku, carrot, shiitake, etc.
