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. 1 blockTofu (firm)
  2. 1packet Maitake mushrooms (I used white maitake)
  3. 1 pieceGinger
  4. The sauce ingredients: the flavoring is on the rather robust side
  5. 2 tbspSoy sauce
  6. 2 tbspMirin
  7. 1 tbspOyster sauce
  8. 1 tbspSugar
  9. 1to coat the tofu Katakuriko

Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
