Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)

- Tofu 1/2 block (150g)
- Potato Starch 2 tbsp
Seasonings
- Mayonnaise 1 tbsp
- Dashi granules 1 tsp
- Soy Sauce
- Dashi broth
Steps
- In a bowl, combine 1/2 block (150g) of tofu and 1 tbsp of mayonnaise. Mix with a whisk until it becomes a paste.

- Cut 2 pieces of mochi into 12 equal pieces each and add them to the bowl, then mix.
- Heat about 5mm to 1cm of oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, scoop the mixed ingredients with a spoon, form them into round shapes, and place them in the frying pan. Cook over medium to medium-high heat, being careful not to burn.
- After about 3 minutes, once the bottom is browned, flip them over.
- After about 6 minutes, once they are browned all over, remove them from the pan and drain the excess oil.
- Arrange them on a plate after draining. Serve with Soy Sauce or Dashi broth to your liking.
- 【The Key to Success!】 Mashing the tofu into a paste ensures the ingredients bind together firmly, resulting in a crispy exterior and a chewy, melt-in-your-mouth interior. They are also delicious dipped in dashi broth, similar to agedashi tofu.
