  • I have made this course as concise as possible. Please try to grasp the key points of information quickly.

  • SECTION 1: Introduction. Here, I will introduce my background as a Tofu Meister and an International Chinese Medical Dietitian. I will discuss why I focus on Tofu and the three benefits of learning Japanese Tofu Dishes.

  • SECTION 2: Draining Tofu. While tofu can be cooked immediately after unpacking, draining it can expand your recipe options. I will explain the advantages of draining tofu and how to do it effectively.

  • SECTION 3: Types of Tofu. The primary focus will be on explaining the differences between Silken Tofu and Firm Tofu, particularly in terms of their production processes. This information will help you choose the right type of tofu for your cooking needs. I will also discuss other varieties, including Usuage.

  • SECTION 4: Unique Seasonings. In this course, I will use distinctive Japanese seasonings to enhance the flavor of tofu. The characteristics of these seasonings will be explained.

  • SECTION 5: Tofu Olive Skewers (Pinchos). To demonstrate the effect of draining tofu, we’ll make Tofu Olive Skewers. The tofu will resemble cheese after being thoroughly drained.

  • SECTION 6: Tofu Hamburger Steak. A light, healthy hamburger steak can be created by thoroughly draining and mashing tofu with meat. This is an essential recipe to try.

  • SECTION 7: Agedashi - Fried Tofu. This is a traditional dish offering an authentic Japanese flavor. You'll again learn the significance of draining tofu properly.

  • SECTION 8: Cabbage Usuage Miso Soup. Usuage is a thinly fried tofu available commercially. Enjoy the flavors of miso (a fermented soybean seasoning), dashi (made with Dashi soup stock powder), cabbage, and usuage.

  • SECTION 9: Tofu Pancake. Combine store-bought pancake mix with tofu to create pancakes with a unique flavor. The cooking process differs slightly from regular pancakes. Due to tofu's characteristics, the pancakes remain moist even when cooled, resulting in a soft and tasty dish.
