“Koyadofu” is the Japanese word for dried tofu. “Tamago” is egg. And “toji” refers to preparing a dish mixed with egg. Koyadofu no Tamagotoji. It’s a healthy, filling dish that is great if you’re on a diet. When I was a child, my obaachan (grandmother) made this for me whenever she came to visit. Reminds me of her so much!
