Steamed Kuya - Kuyamushi

Japanese: 空也蒸し - くうやむし
Steamed Kuya - Kuyamushi

A type of tofu dish. Also called Kuya tofu. Cut the tofu into 3cm cubes and place in a steaming bowl or a bowl with a lid. Crack an egg, add three times the amount of dashi stock as the egg, mix well, pour 70-80% of the mixture into the bowl with the tofu, place in a steamer and steam, top with kuzu paste, and serve with the lid on. It is eaten while hot. Scallops and minced chicken may also be added. Kuya was a high priest in the mid-Heian period who created the nembutsu dance and advocated practicing Buddhism as a half-monk, half-layman. It is said that the dish was invented by a monk belonging to the Kuya Nembutsu Society, and so the name Kuya tofu was given to it.

Japanese:

豆腐料理の一種。空也豆腐ともいう。豆腐を3センチメートル角に切り、茶碗(ちゃわん)蒸しの器か蓋(ふた)付きの器に入れる。卵を割り、だし汁を卵の3倍量加えてよくかき混ぜ、豆腐の入った器に7~8割注いで、蒸し器に入れて蒸し、上に葛(くず)あんをかけて、蓋をしたまま供する。熱いうちに食べるものである。これに貝柱、鶏(とり)のそぼろなどを加えることもある。空也は平安中期の高僧で、念仏踊を創始し、半僧半俗で仏道を修行することを唱導した。空也念仏講に属するある僧が創案したというので、空也豆腐の名がつけられたという。
