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

Deep Fried Tofu with Savory Sauce Deep Fried Tofu with Savory Sauce

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

Deep-fried Tofu with Thickened Mushroom Sauce Deep-fried Tofu with Thickened Mushroom Sauce

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

Fried Tofu with Mushroom Sauce Fried Tofu with Mushroom Sauce

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

Sweet & Spicy Fried Tofu with Grated Daikon Radish Sauce Sweet & Spicy Fried Tofu with Grated Daikon Radish Sauce

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
