Hiyayakko (Japanese Cold Tofu)
style="text-align: justify;">
Hiyayako (冷奴 cold tofu) is a traditional Japanese dish that is usually served during the summer time. It is not only easy to make, but is also a healthy dish. You only need to have a few ingredients, no cooking is required and the preparation takes less than 10 minutes. Ideal to serve in our hot weather here.
