- 1/3 block of firm tofu (approx. 100g)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today’s dish is a simple yet highly nutritious Broccoli, Imitation Crab, and Tofu Salad. The addition of imitation crab sticks makes it especially appealing and delicious for children.
Step 2
Cut the broccoli into florets, slightly smaller than bite-sized. Imagine the size you’d use for dipping in a spicy sauce; that’s a good size.
Step 3
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 2 pinches of salt. Blanch the broccoli for about 1 minute. Immediately rinse under cold water to maintain its crisp texture. Squeeze out as much water as possible by hand.
Step 4
Use only about 1/3 of a block of tofu. Adding too much tofu can overpower the broccoli flavor, so adjust the quantity accordingly. Squeeze the tofu firmly to remove excess water, then mash it. Shred the imitation crab sticks into thick strips.
Step 5
Now it’s time to add the seasonings. First, add 1/3 Tbsp of salt to season. Then, drizzle in 2 Tbsp of sesame oil for a rich, nutty aroma.
Step 6
Next, add 1 Tbsp of ground sesame seeds for balanced flavor and 1 tsp of sugar for a subtle sweetness. Mix well.
Step 7
Combine the prepared broccoli, mashed tofu, and shredded imitation crab in a bowl. Add the seasonings and gently mix everything together with your hands. Ensure the dressing is evenly distributed for the most delicious Broccoli Salad. You’ll be surprised by how incredibly tasty it is!
Step 8
And there you have it – a delicious Broccoli, Imitation Crab, and Tofu Salad! This healthy and flavorful side dish is sure to be enjoyed by both adults and children. Enjoy your meal!
Step 9
As a tip, you can create a visually different and equally delicious dish by omitting the tofu and using only imitation crab sticks prepared similarly.
