---Agedashi Tofu---I' m a fan of tofu ( bean curd ) and my family loves anything with tofu! It's a traditional japanese food and another comfort food of my family. My style of making agedashi dofu is using a momen tofu ( firm bean curd ) while others use kinugoshi tofu ( silken bean curd ) and is deep fried and served with sauce. I love my tofu dishes to be cooked that way ^_^ Now, I'm gonna share my recipe of making agedashi tofu or agedashi dofu ( Japanese Deep Fried Tofu ) for you to try---eating tofu is cheap and healthy. You can find some of the ingredients again on your favorite asian markets.
Ingredients: ( good for 4 persons )
Momen Tofu-- 2 blocks
Katakuriko or Cornstarch
Oil for deep frying
Daikon ( white radish ) ---grated
Option:
Grated ginger
Eggplant
Sauce:
Mirin--2 tablespoon
Soysauce--2 tablespoon
Dashi stock-- 1/2 tablespoon of powdered dashi no motto plus 1 cup of water
Sugar-- 1 tablespoon
Directions of making Agedashi Tofu:
In preparing the sauce, put all in sauce ingredients in a small sauce pan, turn the heat and simmer until done then set aside. Cut tofu into squares like the photo above or you can cut them into smaller cubes ( if you like) , drain excess water and blot with paper towel. You don't want your tofu to spatter when you deep fried them right? Be careful and make sure that it has no moisture. Coat your tofu lightly with potato starch or cornstarch and deep fried them ( 170 to 180 degree C ) until golden and repeat for another batch and drain excess oil and or use paper towel and set aside. You can also deep fry an eggplant ( like of what I did ) sweet potato, pumpkin ( just cut the veggies thinly ) for added volume. Arrange bowl and put the deep fried tofu and veggies ( if you have ) and pour over the sauce and top with a mound of grated daikon and a bit of grated ginger ( if you like ). Serve with plain rice, soup and veggie salad and you're done with an easy and light to the budget dinner! ^_^

I first had a taste of this dish at a weekend market - the owner of a food stall gave me some free sampling, and she used the silken bean curd on the dish (parang taho ang texture ng tofu), and it was really delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe, I will try it one of these days.
My Food Trip Friday dish is now served HERE. Happy food tripping!
yes sis, meron nga kami kapitbahay dito pinoy pero asawa niya japanese... nakikikain ako sa kanila hahahah, ang sarap niya magluto ng kung ano ano na may tufo .... mukhang masarap... mine is up at Table for Five
Wow, isa rin akong tofu-fanatic! I love firm tofus for frying, and silk tofus for soups at kung ano-ano pang dishes na may sauce (like Szichuan tofu). Normally I just cut the tofu in cubes and fry them. I'll try your recipe next time with daikon :)
I hope you are having a great day. Thanks for your visit *hugs*
