Cucumber, Leek, and Fried Tofu Seasoned with Wasabi
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
Topping toasted aburaage with leeks and soy sauce is common, but I added cucumbers and wasabi.
Soaking the leeks in soy sauce at the beginning makes the leeks melt. You can substitute the leeks for myoga ginger. But if you use both, the flavor becomes diluted, so just pick one.
The wasabi isn't as spicy as you think, so feel free increase the amount. Recipe by Eru912

Sweet & Spicy Fried Tofu with Grated Daikon Radish Sauce Sweet & Spicy Fried Tofu with Grated Daikon Radish Sauce
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 -

Taro Root & Fluffy Fried Tofu with Edamame Taro Root & Fluffy Fried Tofu with Edamame
Taking a hint from taro root croquettes I had before, I used a katakuriko coating for a more Japanese-style flavor, and for simplicity. My family and friends all loved it!!If you like the chunky feel of taro root, you don't have to mash it so thoroughly in the beginning. Mashing up the tofu well makes these croquettes nice and fluffy. Recipe by mama yassy -

A Springtime Dish: Cabbage and Tuna Stuffed Abura-age Fried Tofu A Springtime Dish: Cabbage and Tuna Stuffed Abura-age Fried Tofu
This can be made quickly and easily, so I make it often for dinner. Have fun varying the fillings, such as natto, sliced onions, bonito flakes, and so on.I reduce the cooking time by pouring boiling water over the chopped cabbage. Since it is finely chopped, it cooks through pretty well, so you just need to brown the aburaage later, which will heat the pockets through to the center. For 8 pieces. Recipe by Amikope
