Steps to make Umeboshi Scented Shira-ae (Mashed Tofu with Green Beans, Bamboo Shoot and Cheese):
About this much is good. Saikyo miso is a mild, creamy tasting miso. It's quite sweet so it's perfect for shira-ae. Please give it a try.
Blanch the green beans, drain and refresh in cold water. Slice the bamboo shoot thinly. Cut the konnyaku in small pieces about the same size as the other ingredients, and blanch in boiling water to get rid of the smell.
Dice the cheese.
Julienne the shiso leaves, chop the umeboshi into a paste. Even if you buy pre-roasted sesame seeds, it's important to re-toast them in a dry pan.
Grind up the sesame seeds well in a suribachi or a mortar with a pestle.
Drain the tofu, place in a microwave proof container and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 3 minutes. Put in a clean cloth and press to expel the excess moisture, but don't press too much since don't want to try it out.
Put the wrung out tofu in the suribachi or mortar, add the white miso and sesame seeds and grind up well. Put in half the umeboshi paste.
Keep tasting and adjusting as you add the flavoring ingredients and thin out the paste.
When the tofu paste reaches the consistency you like, add the green beans, bamboo shoot and konnyaku. Mix with your hands gently.
Add the remaining umeboshi paste, cheese and shiso leaves. Mix in.
Make sure you don't completely blend the umeboshi paste, cheese and shiso leaves in - you still want them to stand out in the paste, so mix them in gently!
Here, my palms are covered with umeboshi paste. Mix the cheese and shiso leaves in to blend in. You're all finished!
This isn't an overly sweet shira-ae. So it goes well with wine, or bourbon, or whiskey.
It won't turn watery even if you make it the day before. Make a big batch and have some for breakfast too. It's loaded with sesame seeds, tofu, cheese, and fiber.
Tofu in Shira-ae is seasoned with sesame and soy sauce flavor, and it is a great side dish. Vegetable used in Shira-ae is usually sliced carrots, spinach, Konnyaku (a firm jelly-like food made from konnyaku potatoes), green beans, and sometimes persimmons. The key to the texture is to drain the tofu very well. Dry the salted shiso leaves at the same time you dry the ume. While I have never tried it, it may be possible to make these with green apricots instead of sour plums.
