INSTRUCTIONS
Makes 6 servings In Japan, tofu is often served chilled, with a dipping sauce, on hot summer days. Arrangement of food is considered an art form! A simple garnish of a few whole chives with their flowers or some thinly sliced scallions will enhance this dish. In a medium saucepan, combine marinade ingredients. Bring to a boil, lower heat, cover, and simmer 30 minutes. Strain liquid into a bowl, add tofu, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Gently place drained tofu on sheet. Bake 1 hour, turning occasionally, until lightly browned. While tofu bakes, prepare sauce: Mix water, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, wasabi, sugar, and chives. Let stand at least 20 minutes. Add sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds, if desired. Serve tofu warm or chilled, topped with chive or scallion garnish, accompanied with dipping sauce.
