They look like fried chicken, but they are Tofu. This is a yummy ‘Donburi’ dish for vegetarians. If you omit the egg on top, this can be vegan. I used ALDI’s Organic Tofu, but any firm type Tofu can be used. Coating the Tofu pieces with Potato Starch is essential. The layer of Starch will turn jelly-like when combined with the sauce. Even the meat-lovers would enjoy this dish.

Steps

10 minutes plus marinating time

1

Combine all the Marinade ingredients in a small bowl.
2

Cut or break Firm Tofu to bite-size pieces. Add to the Marinade and mix to combine. The Tofu pieces will soak up the Marinade. Set aside for 10 minutes.
3

Combine all the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
4

Drain Tofu Pieces to remove excess liquid, and coat the Tofu pieces with Potato Starch (OR Corn Starch). Heat Oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and cook until nicely browned. Add the Sauce and combine well.
5

Half fill a bowl with warm Cooked Rice, place ‘Onsen Tamago’ and Tofu. Sprinkle some finely chopped Spring Onion and Toasted Sesame Seeds on top.
