Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Firm Tofu 350g
- Ground Mixed Meat 140g
- Long Green Onion 1/2 stalk 60g
- Beef Tallow 1 piece
- Egg 1
Seasonings
- [A] Soy Sauce 2 and 1/2 tbsp
- [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
- [A] Bonito Powder 2g
- [A] Sugar 1 tbsp
Steps
- Slice 1/2 long green onion (60g) diagonally.
- Into a frying pan (or skillet), tear and add 350g firm tofu, drained. 【Tip!】 Tearing the tofu creates jagged edges, allowing it to absorb flavor more easily.
- Place 140g ground mixed meat on top of the tofu.
- Add 1 piece beef tallow and the sliced long green onion.
- Add 2 and 1/2 tbsp soy sauce.
- Add 2 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) and 1 tbsp sugar.
- Add 2g bonito powder (or katsuobushi).
- Heat the frying pan over high heat, then reduce to medium once it boils.
- Gently break up the meat, cover, and simmer for 3-4 minutes. 【Tip!】 To ensure the meat is thoroughly cooked, break it up midway and steam-simmer with the lid on.
- Remove the lid and continue to simmer, reducing the liquid.
- Sprinkle with shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven-spice blend) to taste.
- In a separate bowl, beat 1 egg and use it as a dipping sauce for the cooked Iron Pot Tofu.
