I ate a lot of BBQ dishes over the extended 4th-of-July weekend.
So, my body was screaming for light and delicious donabe dishes.
I made one of my regular "shojin" (Buddhist-style vegan) dishes, Soybean Gomoku-ni. (You can find the recipe here.)
To make this dish, I can't think of any better tool than my soup & stew donabe, "Miso-shiru Nabe". This donabe always makes wonderful stew/ braising dishes. To make the soybean stew, I basically just mix together the ingredients in the donabe and cook in the oven for 45-60 minutes.
This is one of my favorite comfort foods. So wonderful.
I also made tofu from scratch with my homemade tofu kit.
As soon as it was made, I just sliced a cube and ate with some condiments and plum salt.
My body was very happy.
