Ingredients

  • 150 grams Tofu
  • 150 ml Soy milk
  • 1/4 tsp Dashi stock
  • 5 grams Gelatin
  • 1 tbsp Water
  • 2 Okra
  • 3 Shrimp
  • 50 ml Mentsuyu (2x concentrate)
  • 1/2 tsp Katakuriko
  • 1 Shiso leaves

Method

  • Boil the shrimp and okra in salted water, and cut into small pieces.
  • Dissolve the gelatin in 1 tablespoon of water.
  • Put tofu in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
  • Combine the tofu, soy milk, and dashi stock granules in a small pot over low heat.
  • Add the dissolved gelatin, mix well, then cool.
  • Pour the liquid to about 1/4 of the silicon cups.
  • Chill in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to cool.
  • Place the shrimp and okra.
  • Pour the rest of the tofu mixture into the cups.
  • Wrap with cling film, and chill in the fridge for about 1 hour until set.
  • Combine the mentsuyu and katakuriko well, and heat over low to thicken.
  • Cool.
  • When firm, transfer to a plate.
  • Pour the sauce over, and sprinkle with shiso leaves if you like.
  • I used silicon cups bought at the 100 yen store.
  • They're easy to use as you can remove the tofu by flipping the cups.
  • Alternatively, you could use pudding cups or small bowls.
