On 2/13, my "Easy Tasty Cold Tofu" ranked the 1st on Lettuce Club's website. Salt, sesame oil, and garlic really work up the appetite! I used momen-dofu (cotton tofu) which is pretty filling! It's a dish to go with sake or beer, too :DPlease try it out!

Hi suki,

Good for your health! I don't drink much alcohol (one or two glasses of wine) so I don't have any health prob due to that. hehe
