KkinionCooking for One
A One-Serving Plate with Leftover Cucumber and Tofu
See the ingredients and steps for preparing a single serving. Prepare the cucumber and tofu, plate them together, and add your chosen dressing just before eating. Follow the Kkinion recipe for checking the tofu label, cutting the ingredients, and plating.
Start with the Amount for One
If you’re preparing a meal for yourself, start by checking the quantities for 1 serving below. These are some of the ingredients from the recipe’s ingredient list. Check the complete ingredient list below for the remaining ingredients and seasonings, and compare the amounts with what you have at home.
- Cucumber: 0.25 piece (medium)
- Tofu: 1 piece (one block cut into 3 equal pieces)
Rather than using a whole package, first set aside the amount you need, then follow the preparation and cooking steps in the main text.
If you have cucumber and tofu left in the fridge and want to make a plate for one, first check how much of each to use. This recipe combines prepared cucumber and tofu on a plate. If you choose a separate dressing, check its ingredients separately.
Check the Tofu Product Label First
This recipe instructs you to prepare tofu that is suitable for eating raw according to the product label. Rather than deciding how to prepare it based only on the name “tofu,” read the label on the product you plan to use first. Gently press it with a paper towel to remove moisture, then cut it into 2 cm pieces.
In the ingredient list, the tofu quantity is given as “pieces from one block cut into 3 equal pieces,” not as whole blocks. For 1 serving, the amount is one piece; for 2 servings, it is two pieces. Check the unit as well, so you don’t interpret one package as 1 serving.
Cut the Cucumber and Tofu to Different Sizes
After washing the cucumber, cut it into bite-size pieces 1 cm thick, and cut the tofu into 2 cm pieces. Rather than using the same number for both ingredients, follow the specified size for each in the cooking steps. For 1 serving, use ¼ of 1 medium cucumber; for 2 servings, use ½ a cucumber.
The ingredient list below gives both quantities. Choose the column for the number of people you’re cooking for, then check the amount of cucumber and the number of tofu pieces together. The number of ingredients and the size of the cuts are different details.
Choose a Dressing After Plating
Plate the prepared tofu with the cucumber, taking care not to break it up. The published recipe says to add your chosen dressing just before eating, if using one. Ingredients and quantities for a separate dressing are not included in this dish’s basic ingredient list.
If you’d like to add dressing, check the ingredients and preparation steps for your chosen sauce separately. Below, you’ll find the ingredient quantities for cucumber and tofu, along with all three cooking steps. Check the tofu product label, then follow the preparation sizes and plating order in sequence.
