I tried making tofu yo.
I didn’t have any awamori, so I used vodka. It’s the same, right?
Strong canned awamori, which is popular among foreigners, is apparently made with vodka, so I made it believing it was the same.

Ingredients

  • 500g firm tofu
  • 350g rice koji
  • 40g salt
  • Appropriate amount of awamori (over 40% alcohol)
  • 2/3 teaspoon red koji
  • A little sugar

Process

  1. Cut the tofu into 2-3cm cubes
  2. Drain the water. Drain with kitchen paper
  3. Sprinkle with salt and let dry until the surface is hard
  4. Mix rice koji, red koji, salt, and sugar to make the dipping sauce
  5. Put the tofu in a Tupperware and sprinkle with 4
  6. Pour in awamori until the tofu is submerged
  7. Put in a boiled and sterilized Tupperware and let it mature
