mentsuyu가 없는 관계로 간장을 사용했습니다! 아침 식사로 먹으려고 소분해서 만들었는데 두부 자체가 뻑뻑해서 건조한 두부가 되어버렸습니다.. 결국 전자레인지로~ 따끈따끈하고 맛있게 먹었습니다! 맛있어요 두부장같은...

This is a favorite lunch for me, great for when I have a busy day at work. I put some green onions and furikake on top! I also add a little sriracha in the mixture for a light heat.
