Cooking tips
- Adding regular soy sauce will make the color murky, so use only a small amount of soup soy sauce or salt for a clean color and seasoning.
- Skipping the straining step can result in chewy lumps, ruining the smooth texture, so be sure to strain it.
- The elasticity decreases over time, so it's best to consume the sesame tofu on the day it's made for the best flavor.
- Avoid scraping and incorporating stuck bits from the sides of the pot, as this can lead to an uneven surface when set. Focus on the clean mixture from the center.
Recommended for
