Shallow-Fried Tofu in Sauce

This is very easy and will be a good side dish. And you can use this sauce for another dishes - for fried chicken, fried pork, fried tofu, salad... Adjust the sweetness and saltness to your taste.

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 fry the tofu in a smallish frying pan that comes up to half the height of the tofu. Silken tofu falls apart easily, so turn the pieces over very carefully. For 2 servings. Recipe by FarmersK

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

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

This is a delicious and healthy but cheap dish, very simple to serve every day with rice or other ways as desired.(contributed by Huong Loi)

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

This is a very simple recipe that I learned from a friend. It's very friendly to the budget, tastes good with rice and very easy to prepare. You may add pork into the recipe. It will taste better with pork.

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

Today, I will share with you the secret of making the tofu crispy outside and soft inside. I will also show you how to make the garlicky soy sauce and chili sweet and sour sauce to enjoy the crispy fried tofu with.

I wanted to make something healthy and tasty for my kids' lunch today. We ran out of rice, so I improvised by making a filling meal with tofu and veggies.

I made this using leftover vegetables in my fridge!Cook the bean sprouts to your liking. Recipe by bvivid

The best way to get a meateater who's never tried tofu to hate it is to serve it as a meat substitute.Because there is no way a brick of soybean curd is ever going to take the place of a juicy steak, or a meaty pork chop, or even a piece of chicken breast. Well, maybe a chicken breast... specially if it's the boneless, skinless kind...But anyways, you don't hate tofu. What you hate is tofu that's served as meat. What you hate is tofu fashioned into *burger* patties. What you hate is when people tell you to just sprinkle some Bacos on tofu and it'll taste just like bacon.You like tofu. You know why? Because firstly, tofu tastes like tofu - mildly nutty and yes, wildly adaptable, but not as a substitute for meat. And when you prepare tofu to complement its flavor rather than mask it, you don't have the undesired effect of finding out that it really doesn't taste just like whatever you sprinkled on it. Secondly, because it is such a simple and elegant food, it takes well to simple, easy, and elegant preparations. :)

I wanted to make a delicious side dish with the things I had on hand.Be patient and cook the tofu well for a nice brown color. Recipe by Ahiruno kitchen

One of my favorite recipe for summer hot pepper harvest.

I love deep fried mackerel (mackerel tatsutaage). I wanted to make it more delicious as well as eat more vegetables with it, so I thought of this recipe.It will have a more strong taste if you add grated garlic to the B ingredients. Either way is good! You will need to fry the mackerel a bit longer if it has a backbone. Deep fry it for about 5 minutes in that case. For 5 to 6 servings. Recipe by Mamemame

Fried bean curd cooked in a sweet-savory sauce on rice (called kitsune-don) is delicious and I love it, but I thought that in the summer months when appetites are lagging something spicy like this would be better. My husband really liked it so I decided to upload it here!You can freeze aburaage (fried flat tofu), so it's useful to keep stocked. I make the sauce with dashi stock so it's not that spicy. It's also good on top of udon noodles. Recipe by pappatyan

I received lots of Chinese cabbage from my parents. It's easier to eat a lot of it if it's simmered, so I came up with this dish.Thoroughly mix the katakuriko with water before adding to prevent lumps. Recipe by *:ayumi:*

I wanted to eat inexpensive but filling atsuage with vegetables in a sweet and sour sauce, but I wanted it to be a hearty dish...When toasting the atsuage in the toaster oven, use a tray or aluminum foil to catch the moisture. Recipe by Manatake

I came up with a "shrimp chili" recipe with atsuage instead of shrimps for my children who are allergic to shrimp.Add half of the Japanese leek while stir-frying and add the rest at the end, so you can enjoy both its flavor and its crunchy texture.The chili sauce can be used for regular shrimp chili as well.Adjust the amount of doubanjiang to your preference. Recipe by Aroha55

I like fried tofu deeply marinated in sukiyaki sauce . I thought up a recipe where the sukiyaki sauce played a supporting role to the leading tofu using age.Both the atsuage and ground pork already have plenty of oil, so let them cook in their own grease without adding oil. This will also help reduce the calories a little! Recipe by Poron526

Atsuage differs from tofu because it has less water content, and tastes rich since it's deep fried. It's a very convenient ingredient to use.But it tasted rather bland on its own, so it goes well with strong flavors. Stir-frying green onions when they are in season improves the flavor so much, so I added them. If you add spicy flavorings, it's good served in a donburi bowl, over rice.- The atsuage will still be good even if you don't blanch it.- Using lots of green onions is the key. Stir-fry thoroughly in lots of oil to release their sweetness. - Spicy flavors like doubanjiang, red chili oil, or cayenne pepper are delicious too. - Adding shimeji mushrooms or king oyster mushrooms makes it even tastier! I recommend this recipe for bento boxes and rice bowls. Recipe by moj

I usually have these ingredients in my refrigerator, so I make this dish often. It is a quick dish which can be a main dish, so it is perfect for a busy day. My husband loves it.-I made it with komatsuna this time. I used 4 stalks (about 1/2 a bag). You can also use bok choy or Chinese chives.-I used the bite-sized atsuage this time, so I just cut it into half thickness (about 1 cm thick). For 2 servings. Recipe by rose12

I though it would be nice to make something different with astuage, and this recipe was born.Make sure to thoroughly cook the onion in order to release its flavour. You can use katakuriko if you don't have kudzu starch. Recipe by Macrobi chef

I combined tofu, which I always have in the refrigerator, with cheap and healthy bean sprouts.We ate this at the end of the month and it got rave reviews.When you're heating up the tofu or adding the bean sprouts, you shouldn't let it boil. For 2-3 servings. Recipe by Kyoku

I made it light with Chinese cabbage and tofu.This is done in about 3 minutes after you put everything in a pot. Turn the heat off when you add the katakuriko potato starch flour dissolved in water, and stir it in quickly and gently. Heat the pan again until the sauce has thickened. Recipe by maa1012.
