Ingredients
For Ganmodoki
- 350 grams firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon Potato Starch
- ½ teaspoon konbu cha
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 50 grams Shiitake mushrooms (minced)
- 40 grams carrot (cut into thin matchsticks)
- 50 grams shelled edamame
- 2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
- vegetable oil (for deep frying)
For sauce
- 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon kokutō
- 1 teaspoon Potato Starch
- ½ teaspoon konbu cha
- grated ginger (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Use your hands to crumble the tofu into a clean cotton cloth like butter muslin or a dishtowel. Pick the corners of the fabric up and twist them together to make a pouch in the middle, and continue twisting to wring out as much water from the tofu as possible.
- Transfer the squeezed tofu to a bowl and add the potato starch, konbu cha, and salt. Mash the mixture together with a spatula until it forms a smooth paste.
- Put the shiitake mushrooms and carrots in a glass bowl and cover with a tight-fitting plate or lid. Steam the ingredients in a microwave oven at 800 watts for 2 minutes.
- Add the carrots, mushrooms, edamame, and black sesame seeds to the tofu mixture and knead everything together.
- Start preheating a deep, heavy-bottomed pot with a few inches of vegetable oil to 340 degrees F (170 C). Prepare a cooling rack by lining it with a few sheets of paper towels.
- Shape the tofu mixture into 6-8 patties. You want to toss the patties between your hands a few times to press out any air pockets and seal up any cracks, which can cause the patties to crumble or burst when you fry them,
- Fry the tofu patties in the preheated oil until they're golden brown on both sides (about 5-6 minutes). You'll want to flip them over at least once to ensure they brown evenly. Then, transfer the Ganmodoki to the prepared rack to drain.
- To make the broth, add the water, soy sauce, kokutō, potato starch, and kombucha to a pot and put it over medium-high heat. Stir the mixture constantly until it comes to a boil. Let it cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- To serve, arrange a few tofu patties in a bowl and ladle plenty of broth on top. Garnish with the grated ginger.
