Dried Tofu for Sushi

Serves 4 | Prep Time 20 minutes | Cook Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

Directions

Squeeze dried tofu to remove soaking water and discard soaking water. Rinse slices under cold water and squeeze again. Place all ingredients in a saucepan, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Pour into a strainer and allow to cool. Place the shiitake slices in a small bowl. Slice the dried tofu into thin lengthwise strips. The shiitake and dried tofu are now ready to use in making rice, noodle or vegetable sushi.

VARIATION: Add 3 tablespoons of pure maple syrup to the cooking liquid, at the beginning of cooking, for a sweeter flavor.
