Oyster and Tofu Stew

Oyster and Tofu Stew

Oyster and Tofu Stew

Oyster, the taste of winter. They are nutritionally ideal, too. Together with Tofu (bean curd) and a lot of vegetables, it’s easy to survive any winter. Sprinkles of a mixture of red pepper and other spices add to the aesthetics and keep you warmer.

Oysters are called “sea milk” in Japan, because of their richness in nutrition. They have ample protein, vitamins, Iron, Zinc, Calcium. They are loaded with Omega 3 Fatty Acids, too.

On the other hand, they are low in calories, cholesterol, and fat. So, they are one of the most well-balanced foods.

What about Tofu? It’s made from soybean curds. Soybean has plenty of protein, too. It’s one of the major protein sources for vegans and vegetarians. It contains many important vitamins and minerals, similar to the oysters. Maybe we can call it “field milk”.

Imagine how perfect it would be, if these 2 foodstuff is reinforced by a lot of vegetables. And most importantly, the dish is super delicious!

Here’s a simple recipe.

  1. Add 2 spoons of bonito powder, 2 spoons of kelp powder, 3 spoons of Sake (Japanese rice wine), a little bit of salt in 17 us (500cc) of water for preparing seafood broth in a pot.
  2. Add Chinese cabbage, Japanese white radish, mushrooms (shiitake, shimeji, etc.), carrot, and Tofu (bean curd).
  3. Simmer until vegetables become soft.
  4. Add oysters, and continue simmering until the oysters are cooked.
  5. Add 17 us (500cc) of soy milk.
  6. Continue cooking on low heat for 5-10 minutes.
  7. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Add shredded Japanese , and Shungiku (garland chrysanthemum). Cook another 1-2 minutes.
  9. Serve on a plate, add some coriander.
  10. Sprinkle with a mixture of red pepper and other spices, as you like.
  11. Ready!

Tip: when preparing the broth, a little stronger taste would lead to flavorsome results. If you can’t get some of the ingredients, use your imagination. You can replace them with your available foodstuff.
