JAPANESE WAYS OF COOKING
Inspired by shira-ae, a traditional Japanese tofu dish, this salad highlights tofu in a fresh way. Tofu pairs well with mayonnaise, while the sweetness of dried persimmon and the saltiness of prosciutto create a flavorful contrast. A touch of soy sauce in the dressing brings everything into balance. Draining the tofu removes excess moisture. This concentrates its natural flavor and umami, and creates a richer taste and firmer texture.
