Method

Cook

30min

Rehydrate the freeze-dried tofu in 60℃ water. Wash under running water and squeeze out excess moisture. Cut into 8 pieces.

Put 100ml water in a frying pan and bring to the boil. Add the sake, mirin, soy sauce and spring onions and simmer.

When it's reduced by half, add the noodle broth, dashi granules, tofu pieces and chilli powder and simmer further.

Add the frozen prawns and the potato starch in water to thicken the sauce. Cook until the prawns have defrosted.

Transfer to a serving dish. It can be eaten hot or cold.

Tips & Note

The prawns will become small and hard if overcooked so add at the last minute and cook on residual heat only.
