Enoki Mushroom and Okra on Tofu

Enoki mushroom was cheap at the farmer's market this week; two packs for 99 cents! Mushroom is in season in fall, so I want to take full advantage of it. You wouldn't think tofu is bland with this tasty mushroom topping! 

Grated ginger gives a kick.

Enoki Mushroom and Okra on Tofu

Soft tofu, cut into 2-3 inch cubes
2 packs enoki mushroom, cut in 1/3
5-6 okra
1/3 cup soba noodle dipping sauce
(Don't have noodle dipping sauce? Make your own with this recipe here.)
Sprinkle of Japanese chili pepper
Grated ginger for garnish
Shiso leaf for garnish

Enoki mushroom

Noodle dipping sauce

Cook in the sauce for 10 minutes or so.

In a medium sauce pan, combine noodle dipping sauce and cut enoki mushroom. Cook until mushroom is wilted. Blanch okras for one minute. Chop them up as small as you can. Mix enoki mushroom and chopped okras and stir well until it's slimy. Lay a piece of shiso leaf under a cube of tofu. Top it with the mushroom mixture. Garnish with grated ginger and chili pepper.

Chopped up and slimy!

My little kitchen gadget to grate ginger

I like soft or silky tofu for this dish.

Banzai, tofu!

"Banzaaaai!"
