Shra ae can be used with any vegetable since it is basically tofu sauce.
Ingredient
1) Tofu (drained very well)
2) white sesame paste (Tahini is OK) 1 TBS
3) Soy sauce 1 TP
4) Suger 1TBS
5) salt pinch
6) any boild or steamed vegetable a handful
like, mushroom, string beans, asparagus. You can add Toasted Usuage, if you like. Usuage is a version of Tofu, it is sliced and deep fried so it is crispy.
I used one quarter of Tofu of the regular size package. Say 70g.
Combine all of them in a bowl.
It was so cheap in this season, this was only 399 yen(about 4 doller).
Soumen noodle (1 bunch)
and
Shira ae of Asparagus and Usuage.
Cost is about
Soumen 50 g x 20bunch = 555 yen so per 1 bunch is about 30 yen.
Tofu was 160 yen so 40 yen.
Usuage is like 10 yen.
Asparagus? Maybe 30 yen or so?
Soumen need Dashi so it is 30 yen?
adding all, perhaps tonight dinner costed me as much as 200 yen?
I am trying to write down the cost since foreign climbers are believeing it is very expensive in Japan. It's yes, if you try to bring your lifestyle in Japan, but if you do as other do, it is quite reasonable.
I am going for vegan plus at night I don't eat much so this is quite simple dinner but I will keep taking a note of my everyday meal so anybody visit in Japan will get an idea of how we live.
