Agedashi-Dofu (Deep-fired tofu) – Asian Food Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

1/2 lb tofu

cornstarch or flour

oil for deep-frying

1 cup dashi (if not homemade, then can substitute granules)

1/4 cup mirin

1/4 cup soy sauce

sugar (optional)

1/4 cup minced green onion

1 T or more bonito (katsuo-bushi) flakes

3 T daikonoroshi (grated daikon)

1 T grated ginger

lemon slices (optional)

Drain tofu on strainer for several hours. Cut tofu into bite-sizes.

Bring sauce ingredients to a boil in a saucepan.

Coat the pieces of tofu with cornstarch or flour. Heat the oil

for deep-frying, but do not begin until ready to serve. Deep-fry

the tofu just until golden brown; do not overcook.

Pour the dipping sauce in a bowl. Put tofu on a plate and sprinkle

bonito flakes and green onion over the tofu. Place a mound of grated

daikon next to the tofu, and top the daikon with a grated ginger.

Squeeze lemon juice over daikon if you wish.
