TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RECIPE: Hiyayakko is a cold tofu salad with some toppings and soy sauce. That's basically it. There is no cooking, nor mixing. Is an appetizer that is usually served during the summer time.
The hiyayakko is usually topped with katsuobushi, green onions, grated ginger and season with a little bit of soy sauce.
If you lived in Japan, you might have noticed though that this simple combination is part of one of the most common japanese side dishes in Japan. In Japan in particular, you can buy tofu virtually everywhere... even in drugstores and some pharmacies.
Fresh tofu has a stronger soy bean flavor than packaged tofu. When you make this Hiyayakko recipe, you want to have that kind of quality tofu. However, it is almost impossible to get outside Japan unfortunately.
The sauce for Hiyayakko typically use simple soy sauce. However, you can use tangy Ponzu Sauce instead, if you prefer.
