Ingredients

Main Ingredients (Serves 2-3)

  • Silken Tofu 400g
  • Potato Starch (as needed)
  • Green Onion (as needed)

Seasonings

  • [A] Soy Sauce 1.5 tbsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1.5 tbsp
  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tbsp
  • [A] Vinegar 2 tsp
  • Salted Butter 5g
  • Sesame Oil 0.5 tbsp

Steps

  1. Wrap 400g Silken Tofu in paper towels, place on a tray, and put a weight (like a plastic bottle) on top to drain for 30 minutes to 1 hour. [Key Tip!] If you're short on time, you can drain the tofu by wrapping it in paper towels and microwaving on 600W for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Trim the root ends of 1 Green Onion, cut in half, align the cut ends, and finely chop.
  3. Remove the paper towels from the drained tofu and thoroughly pat dry with fresh paper towels.
  4. Prepare Potato Starch in a tray and evenly coat all sides of the cut tofu. Lightly shake off any excess starch.
  5. In a bowl, combine 1.5 tbsp Soy Sauce, 1.5 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), 2 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine), 1 tbsp Sugar, and 2 tsp Vinegar. Mix well until the sugar granules dissolve.
  6. Heat 0.5 tbsp Sesame Oil in a frying pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds.
  7. Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked tofu, and add 5g Salted Butter.
  8. Plate the tofu steak and top with the chopped green onion. It's ready to serve!
