Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Gently remove tofu from packaging and drain any liquid. Place on a small plate or shallow bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Stir soy sauce and mirin together in a small dish until sugar dissolves, about 30 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the soy-mirin mixture over the tofu, letting it pool around the sides.

  4. Step 4

    Top with bonito flakes — they'll dance and shiver from the warmth of the tofu.

  5. Step 5

    Scatter sliced scallions and nori strips over the top. Serve immediately.
