Serves 8-10
This rich, creamy side dish is a favorite recipe of Kazuhiro Taguchi, president of Hirohachido Kuzu Company. The appearance and texture of the finished dish closely resembles silken tofu.
1 cup crushed kuzu
6 cups water
1 cup tahini
Shoyu, to taste
Peeled and finely grated ginger to garnish
In a medium-sized pan, thoroughly dissolve kuzu in the water. Mix in tahini. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. As soon as the mixture begins to bubble, stir briskly and vigorously to prevent lumping and to assure a smooth texture. Continue stirring vigorously approximately 5 minutes.
Pour into a casserole or similar container and chill until firm. Slice into small sections. Sprinkle shoyu (to taste) over individual servings. Top with a dab of grated ginger, and serve. Refrigerate leftovers.
