Hiyayakko (冷や奴) is Japanese side dish made with chilled tofu and topping. This simple and healthy dish is very popular and usually served during summer season in most of the japanese restaurants. It can be served with ordinary meals or beer. Topping is real simple with the standard combination of green onion, katsuobushi (dried skpjack tuna flakes) and soy sauce. You can add in also several toppings like perilla leaf, sliced okra and mustard if you like. I would recommend adding in some oyster sauce and you will find it “PREFECTâ€!! So, try this low calories and easy to prepare dish!
