Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not over-blanch the crown daisy—overcooking will dull its freshness and make it tough. Keep blanching time around 15 seconds total to preserve crispness and aroma.
  • Adding peanut powder helps balance the tofu’s moisture while enhancing its rich, nutty flavor.
  • Use only 1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce to maintain a clean color and just the right level of umami.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a soothing, richly savory tofu side dish.
  • Fans of crown daisy’s distinctive fragrance paired with the depth of nutty flavors.
  • People looking for a light, everyday side dish that can be made in under 15 minutes.
