    Shiraae (白和え) Mixed Tofu Salad

    Shiraae is a cold tofu salad mixed with slightly sweet and savoury (and almost nutty) seasoned vegetables. It’s a perfect side dish to any Japanese meal. I especially enjoy making this tofu salad in the summer when we do a lot of outdoor Japanese style charcoal grilling.
