Chinese Cabbage and Tofu With An Sauce

I wanted to eat something healthy and that'll also warms me up.You don't need to be picky about the ingredients or seasoning. Anything you like is fine.If the taste is too strong, simply dilute with water and increase the amount of the sauce (note that the liquid from tofu dilutes the sauce, so it is better to make the taste slightly concentrated at first).Microwave right before serving, so the tofu softens nicely.

I adapted a dish I had once at an izakaya gastropub!I had a tofu steak that was so delicious and easy, that I copied her method for frying the tofu!You can use normal soy sauce, but if you use light soy sauce, the dish won't darken as much. It's best to drain the excess water from the tofu beforehand. For 4 servings. Recipe by minarin

Back when I was really into salty sauces, I made this using everything I had at home.The vegetables will become tough if you overcook them, so if you think they could be cooked just a bit more, that's a good place to stop the heat.You use the water-dissolved starch to add thickness to the water that's come out from the vegetables. So I think it's okay to only use a little water-dissolved starch. Recipe by chima@.

I came up with a healthy tofu recipe.It tastes mild and comforting.An sauce is a clear sauce thickened with starch.

You'll find yourself eating more than you think.Add the leaf part of the Chinese cabbage at the end as it cooks quickly.When more thickness is required, add more diluted katakuriko.

I wanted to make a refined tasting Chinese style dish that highlighted the delicate texture of tofu.They say that it's easier to get rid of the excess moisture in tofu if you boil it for a while, but if you can't be bothered you can skip this step.Once you put the tofu in the pot, don't use utensils to stir fry - shake the wok to stir the ingredients around instead.If you can manage to keep the shape of the tofu intact when you put this on a serving plate, it will look classier. For 2 servings. Recipe by KiwieKiwie

I tried adding flavorful mushrooms to my usual agedashi tofu sauce.Deep fry the tofu as soon as you've coated it with katakuriko.

I made this dish with my grandfather at his house.Serve this light white fish dish with a tasty ankake sauce.Tofu goes well with this an so you can make a nice dish without using cod fillets.-I used only one frying pan but if you don't like this, use separate frying pans.-Sesame oil is for flavouring the dish. I mixed vegetable oil and sesame oil but you can use either of them.-Sprinkling sake over the cod gets rid of the strong fishy smell.-As an alternative to shaoxing wine I prefer shochu to sake. Recipe by Amikope

I tried using umami-rich oyster sauce to flavor a dish with everyday ingredients.Firm tofu will stay intact, and silken tofu will fall apart a bit and be nice and soft.

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

I loved my mum's deep-fried tofu in dashi but deep-frying or making dashi was too much work. I have left out several steps from my mum's original recipe and I arrived at my own recipe. This recipe is now my husband's favorite.I use slightly firm silken tofu. If you don't have any shiso leaves you can use scallions instead. In that case, sprinkling on shichimi chilli mix will enhance the flavor. Recipe by rokuro

My daughter chooses hiyayakko cold tofu even at an all-you-can-eat buffet.Even if it is summer, eating cold tofu all the time is not good. But mapo tofu is a bother to make.

For 4 servings. Recipe by Youtank

I combined healthy tofu burgers with a handmade grated daikon radish sauce.If the burger mixture is hard to form, add some more katakuriko potato starch flour.Volume wise this is more of a side dish, so to make it into a more substantial main dish you may want to try mixing in some ground chicken, egg and breadcrumbs.You can also make this into chilled tofu or a tofu steak. For 2 servings. Recipe by Natsumi

I wanted to recreate a Taiwanese dish with Chinese spinach and shirasu baby sardines, but since Chinese spinach is not readily available, I came up with this recipe.Silken tofu easily crumbles, so drain well first.

Chilled tofu with nametake mushrooms is delicious, so I came up with this warm version.Be sure to drain off the water from the tofu well at Step 4. If it's rather difficult to drain the water off the plate the tofu is on, try tranferring the tofu to another plate instead. Recipe by Pukuttopukumaru

I used to make this with firm tofu, but then I started thinking that using atsuage would be easier.Since you don't need to drain the tofu or coat it with katakuriko, this method is so much more fun!Make sure you strain the grated daikon radish well so that the sauce doesn't become too diluted. Recipe by Hokkori-no

When I stir-fry bean sprouts, they always release a lot of moisture, which is why I thought it'd be a good idea to thicken it. I added some flavor and katakuriko to make a thick sauce.Since the katakuriko will sink to the bottom of the ○ ingredients, make sure to mix it up again before you add it to the frying pan. Recipe by Iamitsuki

I got this recipe idea from Kikkoman's recipe for "homemade cabbage with sesame and miso sauce".I wanted to enjoy the fragrance of white sesame seeds, so I grounded a lot.Mix the sauce ingredients in another bowl before you start cooking.Be quick on your feet after adding the pork as the heat will be turned up.You can use spring cabbage as well.
