Ingredients
4 servings
- •1 (10.5 ounce) package firm silken tofu
- •2 cups water
- •2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- •2 tablespoons mirin
- •1 teaspoon dashi granules
- •0.25 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
- •vegetable oil for frying
- •2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Place the block of tofu between sheets of paper towels. Set a plate on top; add a 3- to 5-pound weight to the plate. Press tofu for 15 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid.
- Meanwhile, combine water, soy sauce, mirin, and dashi in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Remove weight, plate, and paper towels. Cut tofu into 3/4-inch cubes. Place flour in a bowl and lightly coat tofu with flour.
- Heat oil in a heavy pot and fry tofu until golden-brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Fry in batches if necessary so as not to overcrowd the pot. Place fried tofu in a serving dish and pour sauce on top. Sprinkle with green onions.
