I just made something on the fly with the tofu and maikake mushrooms I had in the refrigerator, and my husband said, "This is delicious!" so I decided to upload it.
I wonder why the sauce that comes out of maitake mushrooms is so delicious?

Silken tofu may fall apart.

Fry the tofu as soon as you've coated it with katakuriko. Cook the tofu well until it's browned.

The crispy chewy texture goes well with the sauce.

If you cool the sauce for too long, it becomes too concentrated, so be careful. Recipe by Senchiko

Ingredients

2 servings

1 blockTofu (firm)
1packet Maitake mushrooms (I used white maitake)
1 pieceGinger
The sauce ingredients: the flavoring is on the rather robust side
2 tbsp◎ Soy sauce
2 tbsp◎ Mirin
1 tbsp◎ Oyster sauce
1 tbsp◎ Sugar
1to coat the tofu Katakuriko

Cooking Instructions

1

Wrap the tofu in paper towels, drain in a sieve (about 10 minutes), and slice lengthwise in half. Wrap loosely in fresh kitchen paper towels.
2

Shred the maitake mushrooms into large-ish clumps. Finely julienne the ginger. Combine the ◎ ingredients (the sauce is on the strong side so adjust taste).
3

Coat the tofu with katakuriko. Heat a pan with a generous amount of oil and fry the tofu until golden brown (make sure to cook the tofu as soon as you've coated in katakuriko!)
4

When the tofu are well browned, push to the side of the pan. Add the maitake mushrooms and stir fry briefly. Turn off the heat to cool down the pan a little.
5

When the pan has cooled slightly, turn the heat back to medium, add the ginger and combined sauce ingredients and cook briefly. (Take care not to let the sauce reduce too much or it'll become too salty.)
6

When the maitake mushrooms and tofu are well coated with the sauce, put on serving plates, and it's done. This dish really gets your appetite going.

If you like spicy food, the mushroom sauce is also delicious with some doubanjiang spicy bean paste. For 4 servings. Recipe by kakopan

You might think this is not right, but I think the best way to get rid of the excess water in tofu is to soak it in salted water before frying it.You don't have to worry about frying the sides of the tofu.To get rid of the excess water in the tofu I usually soak it in salted water. You can use this method for draining the water from tofu for making mapo- tofu also. Recipe by Rokkuru

I just put some ingredients that were cheap at the supermarket together, and the results were really delicious! I wrote it down as a recipe so that I could re-create it myself.Tofu falls apart easily, so it's best to use a firm type of tofu. Don't forget to drain off the water very well! For 2 servings.

Tofu Steak with Miso Sauce Tofu Steak with Miso Sauce

Tofu steak is common home cooking in Japan. It's usually served with mushroom sauce but I used miso sauce this time. You can add some garlic for a little more punch to the plain tofu. This could also be a good salad dressing with some more vinegar and yoghurt. I hope you enjoy.

Japanese Hamburger Steak with Mushroom Sauce Japanese Hamburger Steak with Mushroom Sauce

I added lots of mushrooms to this basic hamburger recipe since it's fall, the season for mushrooms. It was intended for an adult palate, but my kids love this dish.When shaping the patties, don't make them too thin or press down with a spatula when cooking. It'll result in fluffy patties.

I really like hamburgers, so I created this recipe.This time, I used ground pork to make the hamburgers, but you can use a mixture of beef and pork. Since they are tofu hamburgers, they will be nice and fluffy. They'll be even more fluffy if you use a pressure cooker. For 6 patties. Recipe by Berry

Steak Cubes with Garlic Shiso Miso Sauce Steak Cubes with Garlic Shiso Miso Sauce

This is one of my husband's favorite dishes, so we have it quite often -- especially in the summer, when there's lots of fresh shiso to pick.Cutting the meat into cubes helps shorten the cooking time and creates more surfaces for the sauce to coat.I used beef when I took these pictures, but economical pork shoulder or chicken (thigh, breast meat, or tenders) are delicious in this recipe too.Also, be sure to adjust the amount of sauce to the amount of meat you're using, so that it doesn't get too salty.Yields 1 to 2 servings. Recipe by putimiko.

Steak with tarragon mushroom sauce Steak with tarragon mushroom sauce

As a kid learning to cook, one of my favourite things to do was fry a steak and then douse it in partially reconstituted Campbell's cream of mushroom soup. To my thirteen-year-old self, it was the height of gastronomy, and I always felt like such a pro afterward. This dish is a play on that childhood 'recipe.'

Since it's almost the season of daikon, I wanted to make light hamburger steaks with them.It seems like there are a lot of steps involved, but it's pretty simple.There's no need to drain the water from the grated daikon. Use as is.Adjust the flavor of the ankake sauce depending on how watery the grated daikon radish is.Daikon radish sprouts make delicious accents to this dish, so please try them as a garnish.
