It's finally warming up in Columbus. Finally. With the weather change, I felt the need to eat something warm and nourishing for the soul. Let me tell you a secret. I despise ginger. However, this dish is more than healthy. It's full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals. 
Best of all. It's easy. Requires almost no cooking. It's full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals. And helps keep our skin glowing. Give it a try! Even the ginger-hating-self of me loves this dish in it's entirety.
Ingredients:
One package soft organic tofu
2 medium tomatoes (cut in 1/2 inch slices)
1 inch knob of fresh ginger minced
1-2 tbsp dry wakakame (dried seaweed)
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp chicken stock seasoning or mushroom seasoning
*special equipment - steam rack or steamer
1. Heat steamer or a large pot of water to a slow boil.2. Slice your box of tofu in half down the center. Slice into 1/2 inch pieces as pictured down below.
3. Grab a shallow dish (preferably bowl) and alternate between tomato and tofu.
4. Sprinkle seasonings and sesame oil.
5. Top with minced ginger and dried wakakame (seaweed).
6. Once water comes to a slow boil, steam for 15-20 minutes.
Most Asian/International grocery stores sells small racks similar to the one pictured below. It's an easy and convenient way to steam. Just throw a ceramic dish on the steam rack and you're good to go.
After 15 minutes, the seaweed should have rehydrated and puffed back into it's original size. Tofu is normally a bland food so season accordingly. This is an easy dish to be digested if one is not feeling well. It's clean and a great comfort food dish in my house.
