Spinach Shiraae

Tonight we had a veggie-centric dinner of napa cabbage and tuna stewed with sugar and soy sauce, some baked Okinawan sweet potatoes, and my personal highlight, shiraae. Shiraae translates to "dressed in white" and is a dish where tofu is mixed together with various ingredients, hence "dressing the ingredients in white." It's a home cooking standard that my mom makes a lot. Spinach is the most common ingredient in shiraae, and today I also added carrots and sakura ebi (tiny shrimp). Apparently white miso is commonly used for flavoring, but today I just used sugar, soy sauce, and lots of ground up sesame seeds. This was my first time making it, but it came out pretty tasty! Will definitely do again.
