Instructions
- Remove the excess water out of the tofu by wrapping it in a paper towel and leaving it for about 20 minutes with a weight over the tofu.
- Cut the tofu 1.2inch x 1.6inch x 0.8inch (3cm x 4 cm x 2cm) *3
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan to 170°C.
- When the oil is ready, place the katakuriko onto a flat tray and dip each tofu into the katakuriko and dust off excess with a brush. *4
- Deep-fry 4 pieces of the tofu at a time for a few minutes.
- Take deep fried tofu pieces out of the oil and leave it on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.
- Make the sauce by putting all the ingredients into a sauce pan.
- Over a medium heat, bring the all broth ingredients to boil, then turn the heat off and set aside.
- Place the fried tofu into a serving bowl and top with the toppings then pour the sauce over the top.
Notes
- *1 You can make Dashi from scratch, or you can use instant dashi powder to make it. If you want to make Agedashi Tofu completely Vegan, use Shiitake dashi
- *2 These ingredients are optional if you can not access to the ingredients you can leave it out. Another suggestion is finely cut Shiso leaves.
- *3 It does not have to be this size. This is simply a suggested size.
- *4 Do this right before deep-frying otherwise, the moisture left in the tofu absorbs the Katakuriko potato starch.
- *5 Nutritional value is an indication only as it is very difficult to calculate the amount of oil used for deep frying accurately. The oil used for deep frying is not included in the calculation
