Ingredients
  

  • 150 g Firm Tofu
  • 2 Tbsp Miso Paste

Instructions
 

  1. Press the Tofu: Drain the tofu by pressing it for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  2. Marinate: Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a plate and spread a thin layer of miso paste. Place the tofu on top, then spread more miso paste evenly over the tofu's sides and top. Wrap the tofu in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 days to marinate.
  3. Remove the Miso Paste: After marinating, unwrap the tofu and gently scrape off the miso paste using a spoon.
  4. Serve: Slice the tofu into desired portions and serve as an appetizer or in salads. Enjoy this rich, flavorful tofu misozuke.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 days.
  • Make sure that tofu drains thoroughly. This will allow the miso flavors to fully penetrate, resulting in a richer, deeper taste.
  • Enjoy the tofu on the second day after marinating for the best flavor. If you prefer a saltier, more intense flavor, let it marinate for 3-4 days.
  • Don't waste the leftover miso paste! Use it in miso soup, stir-fries, miso mayo, or any other dish that calls for miso.
