Servings 4

Ingredients

1 Avocado
½ Small Tomato
3.5 oz Tofu
A pinch of Broccoli Sprouts (optional)

Gelée

2 tsp Soy Sauce
2 tsp Sake
1 tsp Sugar
½ tsp Dashi *1
½ tsp Salt
1.5 tsp (5g) Gelatin Powder
1.5 cup Water

Instructions

In a microwavable bowl, mix ingredients of gelée except for the gelatin powder. Heat it in the 600W microwave for 3 minutes, or until the liquid is about 185F.
Sprinkle gelatin powder into the liquid mixture. Mix well. (Note: Make sure the liquid isn’t boiling hot because it will be harder for the gelatin to solidify.)
Once the liquid cools down, put it in the fridge for about 2 hours, until liquid firms.
Cut avocado, tomato, and tofu into small cubes.
In a small clear cup, place 1 portion of avocado, tomato, and tofu. Scoop 1 portion of gelée and gently mix in the cup. Aim for a 2:1 ratio of veggies/tofu and gelée. Garnish broccoli sprouts on top as optional.
