How many servings?
Scaled more than 3× — allow 20-30% longer for simmering and reducing, and adjust the seasoning at the end by taste.
How to make it
- 1
Cut the tofu into large pieces and blanch it briefly in boiling water.
- 2
Season the bonito stock with the soy sauce and mirin and bring it to a boil.
- 3
Set the warmed tofu over the cooked rice.
- 4
Pour in just enough of the hot stock to pool around it and serve.
- 5
Top with the green onion and radish sprouts as a garnish.
You can fix this
If it hasn't burned or stuck to the pan, it can still be fixed.
- Too salty? Let it down with water or stock a little at a time — add too much at once and you overshoot the other way.
