3 . Yuba (Tofu Skin) & Carrot ‘Goma-ae’
Yuba (Tofu Skin) & Carrot ‘Goma-ae’
When you want to cook something that is new to you, you probably try to use it for the dishes that are familiar to you. I tried to use ‘Yuba’ (Tofu Skin) for ‘Goma-ae’, a Japanese dish of vegetables dressed with sweet sesame seed sauce. I cook ‘Goma-ae’ very often and you can find many ‘Goma-ae’ recipes on this website. ‘Yuba’ is made from Soy Bean and it is almost tasteless. It goes well with ‘Goma-ae’ Sauce.
Ingredient
1/2 tablespoon
Sesame Oil
1 pinch
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Dry Chilli Flakes *optional
2 tablespoons
Toasted Sesame Seeds *ground
2 tablespoons
Soy Sauce
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Break Dried Yuba (Tofu Skin) into bite-size pieces, soak in warm to hot water for 30 minutes OR until rehydrated and soft, then drain. *Note: It might take much longer time to rehydrate the compressed parts.
* Step 2
Cook rehydrated Yuba in slightly salted water for 5 to 10 minutes, then drain. Squeeze to remove excess water.
* Step 3
Grind Toasted Sesame Seeds, OR use the trick ‘How To Grind Sesame Seeds Using A Plastic Bag’. Add Sugar and Soy Sauce and mix well to make ‘Goma-ae’ Sauce. *Note: I made this ‘Goma-ae’ Sauce sweeter than usual.
* Step 4
Heat Sesame Oil in a frying pan over medium heat, cook Carrots for a few minutes. Add 1 pinch Salt and Chilli Flakes (if you like this dish spicy), stir, and remove from the heat while they are still crunchy.
* Step 5
Combine Carrot, ‘Yuba’ and ‘Goma-ae’ Sauce.

4 . ‘Goma-ae’ Avocado
‘Goma-ae’ Avocado
‘Goma-ae’ is a Japanese dish of vegetables dressed with sweet sesame seed sauce. Sesame Seeds need to be toasted, and Sugar and Soy Sauce are used to make the sauce. Depending on the vegetables that I use, I sometimes add extra ingredients such as Chilli. For Avocado, I highly recommend to add a little bit of Vinegar. The slight sourness in the sauce takes this dish to next level.
Ingredient
1 tablespoon
Toasted Sesame Seeds *ground
1 teaspoon
Sugar
2 teaspoons
Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon
Rice Vinegar
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Combine all the ‘Goma-ae’ Sauce ingredients in a bowl. Add Avocado and gently combine.

5 . ‘Goma-ae’ Chickpeas & Broccoli
‘Goma-ae’ Chickpeas & Broccoli
I first made this dish by accident. I made ‘Goma-ae’ Broccoli the other day. ‘Goma-ae’ is a Japanese dish of vegetables dressed with ‘Goma-ae’ Sauce, which is made of Toasted Sesame Seeds, Sugar and Soy Sauce. I frequently make it using a variety of vegetables. However, this time, the sauce was too much for the amount of Broccoli and the flavour was too strong. I needed to add something else. Then I found some cooked Chickpeas in the fridge and I added them to the Broccoli. OMG!!! It was delicious. Why have I never used Chickpeas for ‘Goma-ae’? Now I have another ‘Goma-ae’ recipe to share with you.
Ingredient
1 can (400 g)
Chickpeas *drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons
Toasted Sesame Seeds *ground
1 tablespoon
Sugar
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Cook Broccoli firmly. Steaming OR Pan-steaming method is recommended. To pan-steam Broccoli, drizzle a very small amount of Oil in a frying pan, arrange Broccoli in the pan, add 2 tablespoons Water, cover with a lid, and cook over medium heat until Water in the pan is evaporated.
* Step 2
Combine all the ‘Goma-ae’ Sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add cooked Broccoli and drained Chickpeas, and mix to combine.
