Ancient Japanese tofu dish

Do you know Gisei tofu? It is one of ancient menu item made by a Japanese monk.

It is like a tofu based cake or baked tofu terrine. Made with tofu, lots of vegetables… and normally, eggs.

The original story behind this dish is the vegan monk who wanted to eat eggs secretly made it, it is hard to tell it looks like including eggs.

My version is made with tofu, some Japanese burdock, carrots, other vegetables and nettles.Instead of eggs, it is with long taro.
