This is the quickest, easiest, healthiest summer time side dish. It’s just cold Tofu with green onion and ginger.
This is a dish you might have when you want to add one more nutritious dish to your meal; when you don’t have any time to cook in the morning; when you don’t have a big appetite; or when you want to eat late at night…
Tofu has a lot of nutrition. As you know, tofu is high in great protein so it is often used as a meat substitute for vegetarians. Also tofu is low calorie (33 kcal / 2 oz.) so it is good food for people who care about their’ diet.
Ginger is used as a medicine (we call it Kampo) in Eastern Medicine. It may improve our immune system and also has antibacterial and antioxidant properties.
Green onion is high in vitamins and carotene. It also has antibacterial properties. So These two vegetables are great to make you more energetic and healthy.

Thank you for the question! I cook tofu dish using firm tofu because I can’t get soft tofu around here. So some of my tofu dish recipes are great with soft tofu such as any kind of hot pot recipes,

When you grill or fry tofu, you might want to choose firm tofu. When you boil or simmer tofu, you can use soft one.
