This absolutely simple dish of Abura-age (Fried Thin Tofu) is, I believe, one of Japanese soul foods. It is seasoned with Sugar, Mirin and Soy Sauce, the Japanese staple seasonings. I like to eat it with Udon Noodles or with freshly cooked rice. You can season them slightly stronger and use them for Inari-zushi.
