Agedashi Tofu is a small piece of tofu dusted with potato starch and deep-fried. This is a really delicious side dish with crispy texture outside and the tofu stays soft inside. I love this dish when I go to Japanese restaurants and if there have it on the menu I will definitely order! Normally it will be cut bigger but I use soft tofu and they break so easily so I cut them into smaller piece. So here it is my take on Agedashi Tofu recipe so easy to make at home too.
