Steamed Tofu Ramekins with Soy Sauce, Scallions, and Nori

Steamed Tofu Ramekins with Soy Sauce, Scallions, and Nori

Write A Review

And this lightning-fast Japanese meal-opener shows off the loveliness of soft tofu: inside their ramekins, the chunks of jiggly bean curd turn to virtual velvet. Combined with the vapors of the steamer, the tofu yields a delicious broth in the ramekin-making this small cup a perfect starter for a Japanese wintertime meal. If you don't have the small ramekins, you can easily transpose this recipe to plates or bowls. Make the whole pound of tofu on one plate, if you wish; just keep the proportions of the other ingredients intact. Makes 8 small first-course servings
