Notes
This is based on my own personal desires, but you can adjust it to taste, or add water to dilute the sauce.
You don't have torch it, it was just for show and for fun. It will bring out more of the smoky flavor from the bonito flakes.. The bonito flakes are already really smokey and flavorful by itself.
If you let the tofu sit in the sauce to marinate, it will create a very pretty gradient.
