Agedashi Tofu Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Tofu
Drain the tofu and wrap it in paper towels to remove excess moisture. Press it gently to absorb as much water as possible, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Coat with Cornstarch
Place the cornstarch in a shallow dish. Roll each tofu cube in the cornstarch until fully coated. Shake off any excess cornstarch.
Heat Oil
In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Tofu
Carefully add the tofu cubes to the hot oil in batches, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Make the Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine dashi stock, mirin, and soy sauce. Heat over medium heat until warmed through.
Serve
Place the fried tofu in a serving dish. Drizzle with teriyaki sauce, and top with grated daikon, chopped green onions, nori strips, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
