Start by making a dashi aka soup, by boiling the Bonito flakes and kelp in 1.5 cups of water for 5 mins
At the end, strain and reserve the stock for the sauce and keep extra for miso soup
Cut the tofu block to desired size then cover in paper towel to dry and drain
In the meantime peel and grate the daikon then squeeze the water out of the pulp - keep to the side for topping
Chop up the scallion for the topping as well
For the sauce, mix 1 tsp of soba concentrate with 2 tbsps of the dashi broth
To serve, remove the tofu from the paper towel, add on the sauce, top with remaining fresh Bonito flakes, scallions, and radish
To make it a meal, enjoy with soba!
