First, let’s prepare the tofu.

まず豆腐から準備しましょう

Tear the firm tofu into bite-size pieces,

木綿豆腐は手で一口大に割り

placing them into a pot of boiling water.

沸騰した湯に入れます

Simmer on low heat for about 1 minute.

弱火で約1分間茹でます

Using a mesh strainer or skimmer,

網ですくって

remove

取り出し

and place the tofu onto a paper towel.

厚手のキッチンペーパーに取り

Wrap the tofu and let it sit to cool.

包んで冷まします

This process will help to remove the excess water quickly.

Next, add the salt to the same pot of boiling water.

同じ湯に塩を加えます

Now, place the stem ends of the nanohana

まず菜の花の根元を浸け

also known as broccolini into the water,

まず菜の花の根元を浸け

and then submerge the leaf part.

次に葉の部分を沈めます

Cook it for a total of about 30 seconds.

合計約30秒茹でます

Remove and place the nanohana into a bowl of ice water

氷水に取り

to keep it from discoloring.

Drain and squeeze out the excess water with your hands.

引き上げて手で絞り

Then, cut the nanohana into 3cm or about 1 inch pieces.

3㎝長さに切ります

Lightly season with the dashi soy sauce.

だし醤油で軽く下味を付けます

Mentsuyu or soy sauce can be substituted

だし醤油の代わりに麺つゆや

for the dashi soy sauce.

醤油でもかまいません

Squeeze out the excess liquid.

絞っておきます

This pre-seasoning process will help to prevent the flavor

from diluting when mixed with the tofu later.

Now, measure out 4 tablespoons of water in a pot

and add the dashi soy sauce.

Add the carrot

and the shimeji mushrooms

and turn on the burner.

Stir to cook them evenly.

Simmer until the liquid is completely reduced.

Then, place the carrot and mushrooms onto a plate.

And now, let’s combine the shiraae.

Put the toasted white sesame seeds into a pan

and turn on the burner.

Lightly re-toasting the sesame seeds before use

will significantly increase the aroma and flavor.

Place the sesame into a suribachi mortar.
