Simmered Fried Tofu and Greens
Report
Simmered Fried Tofu and Greens is a great side dish to keep handy as a part of your meal prep. It‘s a perfect recipe to make ahead since it develops more flavor as it steeps in the delicious dashi broth in the refrigerator!

Ingredients
- 1 piece tofu pouch ¾ oz, 20 g, deep-fried, aka aburaage
- 6 oz komatsuna (or any greens such as spinach, bok choy, cabbage, napa cabbage, lettuce, and mizuna)
- 1 cup dashi use standard Awase Dashi, dashi packet or powder, or Vegan Dashi, Japanese soup stock
- ½ tsp soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce for GF)
- ½ tsp kosher salt Diamond Crystal brand
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Cut off the bottom of your 6 oz komatsuna or other greens. Cut them into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces.
- Cut 1 piece aburaage (deep-fried tofu pouch) into ⅜-inch (1-cm) pieces.
- In a medium saucepan, add 1 cup dashi (Japanese soup stock) and the sliced aburaage. Bring it to a simmer. Once simmering, add ½ tsp soy sauce and ½ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt.
- Mix all together and then add the dense parts (stems) of the greens.
- Mix all together and cook for 1–2 minutes, and then add the tender parts (leaves) of the greens.
- Mix together and simmer on low heat for 3 minutes (depending on the ingredients). Transfer the dish (with cooking liquid) to an airtight container and let cool to steep.
To Serve and Store
- You can serve right away, but I recommend resting the dish for overnight. You can keep in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days or freezer for up to 1 month. Reheat before serving, or you can serve at room temp or chilled (which I prefer).
