Crispy on the outside, soft and melty on the inside—a unique texture! The secret is using silken tofu. Even though it's fried, it's not heavy at all.
Recipe background: Lately, I've been struggling with heartburn, so I wanted to make a hearty main dish for my husband that's still light.

Steps

1

Slice the tofu thinly and drain it well using paper towels. (If you have time, prepare this step early.) Season the pork with salt and pepper.
2

Coat the drained tofu thoroughly with potato starch. (The tofu is very soft, so handle gently.)
3

Wrap the pork around the tofu, dip in the egg beaten with milk, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
4

Fry in about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) of oil until crispy, letting the moisture cook off.
5

I took a bite—it's delicious with a fluffy, melty texture!
