Watch how to make it here

The ideal dish for those days when it’s hot outside or when you don’t feel like cooking. This curry natto cold tofu dish is high in protein, rich in probiotics, great for the skin and tastes amazing.

A few notes:

  1. Natto can be found at most Asian grocery stores in the frozen section. Most will include a seasoning and mustard packet. The seasoning typically includes fish that can be replaced with soy sauce for a vegan alternative.
  2. Silken tofu is best used to enjoy as cold tofu since it is soft to eat.
  3. The chili oil used in this recipe is from Momofuku Goods. However, Lao Gan Ma’s chili crisp would be an excellent alternative.
  4. Rice vinegar can be used as a substitute for Chinese black vinegar.
