Shiraae: Japanese Mashed Tofu Salad | Fresh and Light: Easy Japanese Shiraae for a Healthy Meal

Shiraae, also known as mashed tofu salad, is a traditional Japanese dish that combines tofu with seasonal vegetables. Today, I used Yamato Mana, a local produce in Nara, which is a soft and sweet green vegetable. I have been really into this dish lately because it is low in calories but high in protein and nutrients.
Yamato mana is a member of the Japanese mustard spinach family. It is a soft and easy-to-eat vegetable with a good balance of soft mustardy flavor and sweetness.　You can substitute it with spinach or chard at your local market.

That looks like a great dish to add to my bento and bring to work. I can't always heat my food so I often bring a classic bento to work that I can eat cold if necessary. I have to try this, but I have to substitute the Yamato Mana with spinach. .😀
You always come up with some new dishes, after all these years you thought the idea-well should dry up, but no! Not here! Thank you and keep up the good work. ☺❤

If you want to make it a side dish in Bento, make sure to remove excess moisture from the vegetables, because after a while, it might have chance to gets soggy. Carrot and broccoli will be a good choice!
Thank you for your kind word! Don’t make me cry! w
