simmered dish with two preparations of the same ingredient
A Kyoto specialty, typically tofu prepared in two ways (e.g., half plain, half deep-fried) and simmered together in a single pot.
I tried the famous meotodaki in Kyoto for the first time.
Meotodaki is a dish where tofu is prepared in two different ways and simmered together.
From 夫婦 (めおと, 'married couple') + 炊き (たき, 'simmering'), referring to two preparations of the same ingredient cooked together like a couple.
