ingredients:
- 1/2 block tofu
- 2 g dried wakame
- suitable amount ponzu soy sauce
- suitable amount ground sesame
- 120 ml water for soaking dried wakame

step 1:
Soak the dried wakame seaweed in the 120 ml of water for about 15 minutes to reconstitute it. Drain the water.

step 2:
Cut the tofu block in half lengthwise. Then cut each half across 1 time. Finally, place the knife half way down the side of the block and slice across to form 8 bite-size pieces.

step 3:
Serve the tofu in 2 dishes. Place the wakame over the tofu. Sprincle with the ground sesame. Then, pour the ponzu soy sauce over each dish.

comment:
The sesame flavor is a good accent. Sour ponzu soy sauce suits tofu well and this dish is enjoyable to eat in summer.
