A healthy side dish made by steaming broccoli, cleaned of impurities using flour washing, and tofu together, then tossed in a smooth sauce blended from perilla seed powder for a rich, creamy texture.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Cooking tips

  • Broccoli florets have a dense wax coating that causes water to bead up, making it hard to clean thoroughly. Soaking them in a flour-vinegar solution helps draw out dirt and impurities from within the crevices.
  • If steamed broccoli is left to cool naturally, residual heat can cause discoloration and mushiness. Rinsing it briefly in cold water immediately after steaming preserves its vibrant green color and crisp texture.
  • Mashing tofu with a knife results in uneven chunks and poor adhesion. Blending it with seasonings in a mixer creates a smooth, creamy sauce that clings evenly to the broccoli, greatly improving flavor and mouthfeel.

Recommended for

  • Those who have always boiled broccoli and eaten it only with spicy mustard sauce.
  • People looking to make soft, nutritious, and flavorful side dishes for growing children or elderly individuals with weak teeth.
