Meiji Tofu

Posted @withregram @peckish_ I’ve been waiting for this

Posted @withregram @tsubakila Hiya yakko, custardy silken tofu from @meijitofu topped with nametake style mushrooms, somehow both refreshing and cozy at the same time. And vegan! On the menu tonight

Posted @withregram @k1tsunechan Giving thanks. I hurt my back yesterday so I changed plans today to (semi) sloth. I stocked up on groceries prior to my injury so no need to worry about any form of starvation! I give thanks that there are Japanese veggies that were not available 15 years ago. I give thanks that the local tofu shop has a 2nd generation keeping L.A. stocked with delicious kumidashi tofu. I give thanks that fun varietals of Japanese rice can be sent to my doors...tep milled (or not) to my specifications. I give thanks to my lovely foodie friends who generously shared the bounties of their gardens with me. Do I need a turkey today? Nah. Sometimes I need to contemplate while meditating. And cooking is a form of meditation. My regret is not getting to Gesshinji to eat with the Buddhist Abbess before she passed. ? ? ? ?

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Tofu Ramen @ramenshackusa Thank you @dine.and.drink Posted @withregram @dine.and.drink It’s the message in the song that makes you rock on ... To some, ramen seems pretty simple. Chuck noodles into soup, slap on toppings & boom! To a ramen geek, each bowl represents the soul of the ramen chef in a harmonious and moving fashion - no less powerful than a Mozart symphony. To the majority of ppl falling in between, ramen represents: childhood comfort food, college lifesaver, late night craving, or another opportunity for the perfect pic of a noodle pull. Regardless of where you fall on the spectrum, I’m positive @ramenshackusa is THE shop for you. Chef Keizo’s dedication to ramen is legendary. A prolific blogger. A guy who quit a kushy job to go study ramen in Japan. Who came back & created the ramen burger. And had a fantastic run w/ the OG ramen shack in NYC before moving back to So Cal. Basically, nobody can say they’re more passionate about ramen than @goramen. (Incidentally, he’s also one of the nicest, chillest & most generous people you’ll ever meet). Unlike many shops, the soups & toppings here are all laboriously made in-house. And the noodles are also painstakingly crafted to make sure they’re perfect for the broth. No short cuts. In fact, the amount of thought, joy, agony & hard work that goes into crafting each component of the ramen at Ramen Shack is truly inspiring. They may not know the details, but any astute customer will taste the difference b/c the end product of the passionate & obsessive focus Chef Keizo and all his team have is unmistakable. It’s why ramen geeks eagerly make pilgrimages from across the country. It’s why a ramen noob can come in & be blown away by the amazing depth & breadth of flavors & textures ramen can bring. They don’t have to know anything about the soup blend, subtleties or nuances. They can just enjoy & smile. But it’s the passion that makes this all possible. The drive to create something genuine, expressive and communicative. See more

Posted @withregram @huongryeats tofu chive soup with a chicken & ginger broth canh u h isn’t really what most people expect anymore when you hear tofu soup - my mind usually goes straight to korean soondubu jjigae when those words come up. But when I was younger, with little means and long work hours, this was one of the dishes my mom would make for us to eat together for a quick dinner. Canh, a generic term of soup, is usually a clear broth based soup and anything... could go into it - the rules were flexible as long as you had some kind of green veggie, you were good to go. This version of the soup was a bit more extra than what we ate - sometimes it was literally boiled water, tofu, and chives because it’s all we either had time or money or both for. Here, I used ginger and other aromatics to make a rich chicken broth, with the addition of ground chicken dropped in to make it heartier, before adding in soft cubes of tofu and chives (a grassier variety than the kind you see garnished on westernized dishes). Not much to it, and it certainly isn’t the type of dish to make it on a restaurant menu, but one close to my heart for that very reason - it’s the kind of dish that can’t be commercialized. It’s the kind of dish that raised us and only we have the knowledge or memory, meaning it can’t be taken from us. #homecooking #vietnamesefood #foody #foodie #homemadefood #homemade #tasty #delish #vietfood #vietnamese #asianfood #foodforthought #foodforfoodies #vietnamesehomemadefood #soup #soups #broth #tofu #chickenbroth #ginger #chives #asiancooking #subtleasiancooking #subtleasianeats #ethnicfood #flatlayfood #foodphotography #foodstyling #foodphotographyandstyling #foodgasm
