because it was my mom's birthday yesterday. after work we went out to dinner at gazen! it was delicious. i should have ordered suntory yamazaki 12 year instead of the kirin... but it's okay. everything was great. i love the tofu from there way too much.
that's something i want to learn how to do, though. learn to make tofu at home. a simple google search produces thousands of recipes and guides on how to DIY. it seems simple enough if you do it the american way. that is, using soy milk and just curdling it. but for some reason i feel like the consistency wouldn't be the same as that of silken tofu (which is what i want!) made from soy beans. oh well.
there used to be this really great tofu place in manoa called Soy to the World. they used to sell their products and shirokiya and so i'd pick it up on my breaks from work and eat them in the office. so good. i like it when it's mildly sweet and more pudding like than firm. such a great pick me up, miss it so much.
so i guess if i'm going to do this, i'm going to use this video as a reference.
now i really want to eat unohana... haha. here's the blog that made me think of it! if you haven't had it before it's a really yummy side dish! they sell it at most japanese markets premade. my mom used to make it at home from time to time. love ya, tofu!
