Miso Marinated Tofu

Miso marinated Tofu.
It sounds weird, but this is actually old recipe.
I found this in "Tofu Hyakuchin," a bestseller Japanese cook book published in 1782.


The recipe is simply to marinate Tofu with Miso.
First, drain water from Tofu really well. I slice Tofu into about 1 inch thickness.
Then marinate Tofu with Miso.
You can use just Miso. I add a little bit of Sake to miso, mix well, then marinate.
Keep it in fridge for several days.

When you eat, just wipe off excess Miso and eat with crackers or you can grill the surface.
And this tastes like cheese!
If you keep Tofu marinated for weeks, it becomes really like cheese, but mold might grow.

We had this with Monchiero Carbone Cecu Roero Arneis 2014.
White wine from Piedmont.
This wine goes really good with cheese, so it was a good pairing.
