Step 1
Gently remove tofu from packaging and drain any liquid. Place on a small plate or shallow bowl.
Step 2
Stir soy sauce and mirin together in a small dish until sugar dissolves, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Pour the soy-mirin mixture over the tofu, letting it pool around the sides.
Step 4
Top with bonito flakes — they'll dance and shiver from the warmth of the tofu.
Step 5
Scatter sliced scallions and nori strips over the top. Serve immediately.
