Jimami-dofu and Uno Hana Made with Homegrown Peanuts
- 200 grams Raw peanuts
- 60 grams Katakuriko or kudzu powder
- 800 ml Water
- 4 tbsp Japanese dashi stock
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Mirin
- 1 Grated ginger
- Here are some homegrown peanuts.
- Here they are raw.
- Soak them in hot water for a while, then peel off the skins.
- Using a blender, combine the peanuts and water, then blend into a smooth liquid.
- Lay a cloth over a thick-bottomed pot, strain the liquid from Step 4, then squeeze out the excess juice.
- Add the remaining water and katakuriko to the pot, stir until even, then heat.
- At first, the heat should be set high, then reduced to low heat while continuously stirring.
- Remove from heat once the mixture reaches a paste-like consistency.
- Line a mold (I use a bento box) with a damp towel, then pour in the mixture from Step 6.
- Cover the mixture with the ends of the cloth, then chill in a cold water bath.
- Once it has cooled, chill in the refrigerator.
- Cut into desired sizes...
- Top with grated ginger, then drizzle on the sauce.
- Do not discard the pulp.
- You can make uno hana with it.
- Here is the uno hana dish.

- With the leftover peanuts I had, I added them to some kudzu powder and made tofu from that.
- This tofu is stickier than the kind made from katakuriko slurry and it's very delicious.
- I made uno hana using freeze-dried tofu!
