This recipe was introduced at Yukio Hattori's recipe site (Megami's Recipes site). Yukio Hattori is a president of Hattori Nutrition College and best known as an expert commentator on the Japanese television show Iron Chef, if you know ;)

I topped "Spinach Ohitashi" on tofu and decorated with colored peppers. Spinach Ohitashi is a common dish cooked in Japan. It is a boiled spinach flavored with soy sauce. However, in this tutorial, I used vinegar and spices to season, so the flavor is unique.

Please watch Lady Gaga Bento video for the basic "Spinach Ohitashi" recipe.

---------------------------------
Christmas Tofu

Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 7min
Number of servings: 2 Christmas trees

Ingredients:
300g (10.5oz.) square momen-dofu (cotton tofu) or kinugoshi-dofu (silken tofu)
100g (3.5oz.) spinach (mustard spinach is okay)
salt
A
* 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
* 1 tbsp. soy sauce
* 1 tbsp. black vinegar
* a bit of grated ginger
* a bit of black pepper
bell pepper (red, orange, and yellow)

Directions:
1. Boil water in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt in the water (salt removes oxalic acid - bitter taste, and makes the spinach nice and green).
2. Wash spinach and add in the boiling water from the stem side.
3. Boil spinach for about one minute. Drain and soak the spinach in cold water (or use running water) to cool. Drain and squeeze the spinach to remove the excess water (use paper towel if you have).
4. Cut off the root ends of the spinach and cut into small pieces. Toss the spinach with A.
5. Drain tofu, slice tofu widthwise, and cut it into Christmas tree shape - please watch the video to see how.
6. Top the tofu with spinach and decorate it with diced bell peppers (ornaments).

HELLO EVERYONE! :) (MORE INFO BELOW!)

On Saturday, 28 June 2014, my beloved Grandpa passed away. The last time I updated you guys, he was home and feeling better. Unfortunately, after 10 days of being discharged from the month-long hospital stay earlier, he contracted a serious case of pneumonia and lung infection.

I thank all of you for your thoughts, prayers and words of encouragement in my Giveaway video. I hope you guys understand if I don't seem like myself in my videos for the next couple of weeks because it is after all, the first Ramadhan my family and I are celebrating without my Grandpa.

Just thanks for being very encouraging because it means a lot
