Cooking Basics
Soak in lukewarm water for about 20 minutes to rehydrate. Once the water has been thoroughly absorbed and the koyadofu has become soft and plump, use the palms of your hands to gently squeeze out excess water. Flavored koyadofu does not need to be rehydrated.
Remove the skin of the ginger and thinly slice, gradually sliding and stacking the slices. Then mince the ginger into fine pieces, and slice again finely at right angles.
Remove the skin of the garlic clove, and cut vertically in half. Then remove the core, slice thinly cut-side down without cutting as far as the base part, and lay the knife flat and insert horizontal cuts. Finally, mince from end to end.
