Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

  • ½ cup dried Asian-style whole sardines

  • 2 ½ tablespoons red miso paste

  • ½ cup boiling water

  • 1 (16 ounce) package silken tofu, cubed

  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. In a dry heavy skillet over medium heat, stir the sesame seeds and dried sardines until they give off their fragrance but don't burn, about 2 minutes. Place the sesame seeds and dried sardines in the work bowl of a small food processor, and pulse until ground to a fine powder.

  2. Place the dried sardine mixture in a large bowl, and stir in the miso to make a very thick paste. Add boiling water and mix to a smooth, creamy consistency, and gently stir in the cubed tofu, green onions, and red pepper flakes.
