Cooking Instructions
- 1
For this recipe, I used individual round tofu packs (one per person). You can also cut a large block of tofu into portions.
- 2
Boil the edamame and remove them from the pods. If using frozen edamame, thaw and remove from pods.
- 3
In a saucepan, bring the water and chicken bouillon to a boil. Add the soy sauce, mirin, salt, and ginger. Taste and add a little more salt if needed.
- 4
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the boiling sauce, stirring until it thickens.
- 5
Beat the egg in a bowl. Slowly pour the beaten egg into the thickened sauce while stirring. Add the edamame, stir once with a ladle, and turn off the heat.
- 6
For a cold version, chill the sauce in the refrigerator, then pour it over cold tofu just before serving.
- 7
Whether serving cold or warm, pour the sauce over the tofu just before eating. (If serving warm, gently heat the tofu in hot water without boiling.)

Deep Fried Tofu with Savory Sauce Deep Fried Tofu with Savory Sauce
I absolutely hate using a lot of oil.I use little amounts as possible, even for making tempura and deep fry dishes.Try not to touch the tofu too much while you're cooking! It'll become all mushy.By the way, if you just grill the tofu and drizzle on hot mentsuyu (diluted with water), it becomes the regular? agedashi tofu! Try it with grated daikon radish and ginger on the side. Recipe by Tenmu chan mama cookpad.japan -
