shiraae with beans & peas.

I love Shiraae - made with blanched vegetables and tossed in a “white” sauce made of tofu, among other ingredients. Anyway, this particular recipe was created by a Japanese Tofu Master (at least he seems very skilled in the tofus). The verdict: not the kind of Shiraae I’m used to, very smooth, almost like a dressing. Tofu Master still gets two thumbs up! You go boy.

SHIRAAE with PEAS, GREEN BEANS & SNAP PEAS.

Ingredients: (4 Servings)

3 cups beans/peas of your choice, steamed
1 cup dried cranberries
½ package soft tofu
2 tbs Saikyou miso (white miso)
2 tbs sesame, ground or paste
2 tsp soy sauce
4 tbs boiled cooking sake

Wrap tofu in paper towels and drain for about 15 min. Put drained tofu, miso, sesame, soy sauce, and cooking sake in food processor. Mix until creamy. Toss with blanched or steamed vegetables of your choice. (By the way…Whole Foods has these “deluxe cranberries” which are fab - not completely dried, a little plump, and tons sweet. So genius.)
