What we love about this Japanese silken tofu recipe

We use silken tofu for the hiyayakko tofu because it has a very creamy and soft texture. The idea is not to mask it but complement it with some contrasting flavour and zing. One more great thing about this silken tofu recipe is that radishes are incredibly healthy, low carb, rich in several vitamins and minerals. Chilled tofu can go in many directions, you can even try and add your favourite ingredients to the topping. Check out these amazing Japanese silken tofu recipes for more inspiration:
