Agedashi Tofu Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
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.
- 2
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.
- 3
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).
- 4
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.
- 5
Make the Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine dashi stock, mirin, and soy sauce. Heat over medium heat until warmed through.
- 6
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.
