Super Quick Japanese-Style Mapo Tofu with Atsuage
I won some Hondashi dashi stock granules to try out.
Hondashi has a rich umami flavor, so I could make this delicious Japanese-style mapo tofu without using various Chinese seasonings.
Using atsuage makes this mapo tofu richer. You don't need to parboil the atsuage, so you can make this dish very quickly.
The atusage won't give off excess water, and it won't break up easily even if you stir it hard, so it's easy to make mapo tofu with it.
I wanted to highlight the aroma of Hondashi, so I didn't add sesame oil. But if you like it, add it to taste... For 2 servings. Recipe by putimiko
