I wanted to eat inexpensive but filling atsuage with vegetables in a sweet and sour sauce, but I wanted it to be a hearty dish...When toasting the atsuage in the toaster oven, use a tray or aluminum foil to catch the moisture. Recipe by Manatake

Usually I season our family meals very lightly. But sometimes you want a concentrated dish.Adjust the amount of ingredients to taste. Use whatever vegetables you like!I used brown rice amazake as the sweetener, but you can use regular white rice amazake (without sugar) in the same way. Recipe by Piyonofu

I though it would be nice to make something different with astuage, and this recipe was born.Make sure to thoroughly cook the onion in order to release its flavour. You can use katakuriko if you don't have kudzu starch. Recipe by Macrobi chef

I loved my mum's deep-fried tofu in dashi but deep-frying or making dashi was too much work. I have left out several steps from my mum's original recipe and I arrived at my own recipe. This recipe is now my husband's favorite.I use slightly firm silken tofu. If you don't have any shiso leaves you can use scallions instead. In that case, sprinkling on shichimi chilli mix will enhance the flavor. Recipe by rokuro

I love deep fried mackerel (mackerel tatsutaage). I wanted to make it more delicious as well as eat more vegetables with it, so I thought of this recipe.It will have a more strong taste if you add grated garlic to the B ingredients. Either way is good! You will need to fry the mackerel a bit longer if it has a backbone. Deep fry it for about 5 minutes in that case. For 5 to 6 servings. Recipe by Mamemame

I came up with this dish when I needed one more dish.This is an easy recipe that's all about frying the atsuage and mixing in the sauce! It's also great to add some chikuwa. For 2-3 servings. Recipe by Hana chan

I thought miso sauce would go well with atsuage, so I made this stir-fry. I wanted to add some green vegetables for color, so I used some green peppers that I had in the refrigerator. I ended up with this dish, which goes really well with rice.The miso sauce will spatter out of the pan, so try to quickly cook it up.The ginger is for fragrance, so you can discard it before serving.If you don't like green peppers, you can substitute it with your choice of mushrooms, such as king oyster, or lotus root and it will still be delicious.

Atsuage differs from tofu because it has less water content, and tastes rich since it's deep fried. It's a very convenient ingredient to use.But it tasted rather bland on its own, so it goes well with strong flavors. Stir-frying green onions when they are in season improves the flavor so much, so I added them. If you add spicy flavorings, it's good served in a donburi bowl, over rice.- The atsuage will still be good even if you don't blanch it.- Using lots of green onions is the key. Stir-fry thoroughly in lots of oil to release their sweetness. - Spicy flavors like doubanjiang, red chili oil, or cayenne pepper are delicious too. - Adding shimeji mushrooms or king oyster mushrooms makes it even tastier! I recommend this recipe for bento boxes and rice bowls. Recipe by moj

I usually have these ingredients in my refrigerator, so I make this dish often. It is a quick dish which can be a main dish, so it is perfect for a busy day. My husband loves it.-I made it with komatsuna this time. I used 4 stalks (about 1/2 a bag). You can also use bok choy or Chinese chives.-I used the bite-sized atsuage this time, so I just cut it into half thickness (about 1 cm thick). For 2 servings. Recipe by rose12

I love my mum's sukiyaki and I asked for her warishita recipe. Since then, this has been my family's favorite.At the end of a sukiyaki meal, we cook udon noodles in the leftover warishita sauce. It's very tasty and I always eat too much.The key of this recipe is to add a little miso to the sauce. Recipe by DearMIHO
