Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Firm Tofu 1 block (300g)
  • Potato Starch 3 tbsp
  • Shiso Leaves 3 leaves
  • Green Onion 1/4 stalk
  • Myoga Ginger 1
  • Bonito Flakes (Katsuobushi) (to taste)

Seasonings

  • [A] Soy Sauce 1 tbsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Water 5 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tsp
  • [A] Dashi Powder 1 tsp
  • [A] Grated Ginger 1 tsp

Steps

  1. Place a plate or similar item on top of Firm Tofu 1 block (300g) and let it sit for about 30 minutes to drain the water.
  2. Remove the stems from Shiso Leaves 3 leaves, roll them lengthwise, and thinly slice.
  3. Finely mince Green Onion 1/4 stalk.
  4. Cut Myoga Ginger 1 in half lengthwise, then slice thinly about 2mm thick.
  5. Soak the sliced Myoga Ginger in water for about 5 minutes to remove bitterness.
  6. Add the well-drained Myoga Ginger and the chopped Green Onion to a bowl.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine Soy Sauce 1 tbsp, Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp, Water 5 tbsp, Sugar 1 tsp, Dashi Powder 1 tsp, and Grated Ginger 1 tsp. Mix well.
  8. Cut the drained Tofu into 9 equal pieces.
  9. Place Potato Starch 3 tbsp and the cut Tofu into a plastic bag. Close the bag and gently shake to coat the tofu evenly with potato starch.
  10. Lightly oil a frying pan and heat over medium heat.
  11. Arrange the Tofu pieces in the frying pan, leaving some space between them. Flip and cook until all sides are golden brown. (Key Tip!: Leave space between the tofu pieces so they don't stick together.)
  12. Add the grilled Tofu to the bowl with the prepared sauce and mix well to coat.
  13. Arrange the tofu on a plate and drizzle the remaining sauce from the bowl over the top.
  14. Sprinkle with the sliced Shiso Leaves and Bonito Flakes (Katsuobushi).
