Hiyayakko Chilled Tofu instructions
-
Mix together finely chopped shiso, miso and ra-yu. If you dont like it spicy, use sesame oil instead of ra-yu..
-
Put the combined ingredients in Step 1 on top of the tofu and its done..
-
If you pour a little soy sauce under the tofu, just enough to color it slightly before putting the tofu in the serving dish, it will round out the flavors. Dont pour soy sauce over the tofu, or it will clash with the saltiness of the miso..
It only takes minutes to prepare and make so it's very low effort for something so bright, refreshing, and delicious.

Hiya means cool, and yakko once referred to samurai's servants during the Edo period.
They wore a square-shaped crest measuring three by three centimetres, so when tofu was cut into cubes of that size one would say it was cut into yakko.
Hiyayakko is a cold tofu salad with some toppings and soy sauce.
