Makes 1 bento

Bento Power’s Sara Kiyo Popowa says:
‘“Hiya-yakko” is a Japanese dish: a block of chilled silken tofu, perked up by soy sauce, grated fresh ginger and spring onions on top. I like making it into a bento, with colourful veggies and a sheet of nori in between the tofu/veggie topping and the rice base. Why the nori? By lunchtime, the tofu has released a little liquid, which softens the nori and mixes with the other seasoning as you dig in – delicious!’
