So easy, just slice and sear, yet incredibly delicious! This dish features seasonal new onions and deep-fried tofu, finished with a savory dashi-infused Japanese-style cheese that makes everything wonderfully melty. Perfect as a side dish for rice or as a tasty appetizer.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • 1 large new onion (250g)
  • 1 block deep-fried tofu (atsuage)
  • 30g mixed cheese

Seasonings

  • [A] 3 tbsp water
  • [A] 2/3 tsp dashi powder

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp water and 2/3 tsp dashi powder and mix well.
  2. Cut 1 block of deep-fried tofu into 6 equal pieces.
  3. Trim the root and tip ends of 1 new onion (250g). Slice into 8 wedges, stopping just short of the root. (This is the key!) Keeping the core intact prevents the onion from falling apart, allowing for efficient cooking.
  4. Lightly oil a frying pan and heat over medium heat.
  5. Once the pan is warm, arrange the sliced new onions cut-side down. Place the deep-fried tofu pieces in the gaps evenly. Sear until golden brown.
  6. Once the new onions and deep-fried tofu are browned, flip them over.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, and pour the prepared seasoned mixture around the edges of the frying pan.
  8. Cover with a lid and steam-grill over low heat for 7 minutes.
  9. Sprinkle 30g of mixed cheese evenly over the top.
  10. Cover again with the lid and steam-grill over low heat for 3 minutes.
  11. Plate the finished "Melt-Yaki New Onion".
