Agedashi Tofu Ingredients
Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Tofu
Drain the firm tofu and wrap it in paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place a weight on top for 15-20 minutes to press out more liquid.
2. Cut and Coat the Tofu
Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes. Dredge each piece in cornstarch, ensuring all sides are coated evenly.
3. Fry the Tofu
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F). Fry the tofu cubes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. Prepare the Dashi Broth
In a saucepan, combine dashi stock, soy sauce, and mirin. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
5. Serve
In a serving bowl, place a few pieces of fried tofu. Pour the hot dashi broth over the tofu. Garnish with chopped green onions, grated daikon, katsuobushi, and torn nori.
