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

Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 1 blockSilken tofu
  2. 50 gramsEnoki mushrooms
  3. 50 gramsShimeji mushrooms
  4. 1 dashLeeks or green onions (finely chopped)
  5. 1Katakuriko

  8. [A]
  9. 200 mlDashi stock
  10. 1 tbspMirin
  11. 1 tbspSoy sauce
  12. 1 pinchSalt

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the stem end of the enoki mushrooms, cut in half and shred. Cut the stems off the shimeji mushrooms and shred as well.

  2. 2

    Put the ingredients listed under A into a pan. When the mixture comes to a boil, add the mushrooms from Step 1, simmer over medium heat for 1 minute, then add the katakuriko slurry to thicken. The mushroom sauce is done.

  3. 3

    Next, cut the block of tofu in half, sandwich between paper towels and leave for 5 minutes to drain excess moisture, then coat with katakuriko.

  4. 4

    Deep fry the tofu in medium-hot oil for 3 minutes and it's done (I fried the tofu in a small frying pan with about 1 cm of oil).

  5. 5

    Pour the piping hot mushroom sauce and green onions over the fried tofu.... If you dissolve yuzu pepper paste in the sauce, it's absolutely terrific.
