I was chosen to be a Meiji Hokkaido Tokachi Camembert cooking tester, so I thought up an appetizer that would be perfect for Father's Day.
We usually eat Camembert just as-is, but I learned that it can be used in many recipes, so my repertoire has grown.

I used a packaged Camembert that was cut into 6 portions, so I used 2 of the portions, each divided into 4 pieces for 8 fritters.
If even a bit of the cheese is sticking out when you form the fritters, it will leak out, so make sure that the cheese is completely covered. Recipe by yaburie

Steps

1

Wrap the tofu in a paper towel and microwave for 2 minutes, then press firmly with your hands to press out the excess water.
2

Boil the edamame in salted water, and take the beans out of the pods.
3

Slice the Camembert cheese into appropriately-sized pieces.
4

Put all the ingredients except for the cheese into a bowl and mix well, then divide into 8 equal portions.
5

Put a portion of the mixture from Step 4 on the palm of your hand, wrap it around a piece of cheese and form into an oval-shaped patty. make sure that the cheese is totally hidden inside.
6

Form all 8 of the oval patty balls of the mixture in the same way, and deep-fry in vegetable oil until golden brown. If the oil is too hot the edamame will get burned, so fry over medium temperature.
7

Put it on a serving plate accompanied by grated daikon radish. You can eat it as-is, but it's also great with ponzu sauce.
