Agedashi Tofu is deep fried tofu in a soy sauce/dashi based broth. It’s one of my favorite Japanese dishes and it’s fast and easy to make. The key to deep frying tofu is to get the excess water out with paper towels. This dish makes a great healthy snack! You can serve it as an appetizer or as a side dish. Serve each cube in a separate bowl with the broth. Garnish with Scallions and bonito flakes, or grated daikon and grated ginger.

Ingredients:

1 package of silken tofu (14 oz)
Flour or Cornstarch (for dusting tofu)
Bonito Flakes
Scallions (optional)
oil for frying

Tentsuyu Broth
2/3 cup water
2 tablespoon Soy Sauce
3 tablespoon mirin
1 1/2 teaspoon granulated dashi

Makes 3 Servings

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1: Bring the water, soy sauce, mirin, and dashi to a boil for about a minute in a small pan. Keep Warm.

Step 2: Cut the tofu into cubes about 6 to 8 pieces.

Step 3: Remove excess moisture from the tofu with paper towels.

Step 4: Dust the tofu with flour or cornstarch on all sides.

Step 5: Deep Fry at 375 degrees F for a minute or until the tofu is golden brown.

Step 6: Serve with the tentsuyu broth and garnish with bonito flakes and scallions.
