Shira-ae is a tofu-based dish, usually with some boiled green vegetables and sea vegetables, either hijiki or arame. This recipe explains how to cook the hijiki and to mix it with the shira-ae sauce. Hijiki can sometimes look a bit scary as its strands of black, so mixing it with this creamy tofu sauce makes it easier for someone new to adding sea vegetables to your meals. You can swap the edamame beans with blanched or fresh spinach or just have it plain.

Tofu works really well as a creamy sauce when blended. In this recipe, we add fresh basil to the sauce, which works really well. The fresh aroma of the basil combined with the slight bitterness of the extra virgin olive oil blended with Clearspring silken soft tofu has the perfect balance as a sauce for any type of pasta. If you have some leftover sauce, you can spread it on bread with a bit of olive oil.

Scrambled Tofu (or Tofu Scramble) is a favourite in our kitchen. It's light to eat, high in protein and very quick and easy to make. Have it for breakfast, brunch or a light lunch or dinner.

We like the wobble soft texture it brings and the key is to not break it down too much or mix it in the pan, to keep an authentic "scramble" consistency.
