Step:

  1. *This is what I used. It is already cut into smaller pieces.

  2. You should soften the Dry Kōya Dōfu according to the instruction on the package, but the common method is soaking them in warm water. Place warm water in a baking dish or something similar, place Dry Kōya Dōfu, and allow to soak for 5 to 10 minutes or until soft.

  3. Once softened, gently press them to remove excess water. If large, cut into the size that is easy to eat.

  4. Place the soup ingredients in a large saucepan. Saltiness and sweetness of the soup depend on your taste, but traditionally Kōya Dōfu is seasoned fairly sweet.

  5. Bring the soup to the simmer. Add Kōya Dōfu to the simmering soup, in a single layer if possible, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Today I added Snow Peas at the end of cooking process and cooked for 1 minute.


Ingredients

  1. About 120g Dried Kōya Dōfu
