Tofu Isobe-yaki

I tried making this Japanese isobe-yaki with tofu instead of mochi as a diet-friendly food.
The tofu that I use is heavy and firm so I don't need to drain the tofu. However, Japanese firm tofu is soft, so it might be easier to handle if the tofu is drained. I think it would taste good if you substituted the cheese with other things such as ham, tuna and mentaiko. However, the flavor of the melted cheese is really good, so I really recommend that you use it. Recipe by Spain

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the tofu into pieces of roughly the size of mochi. Cut the tofu along the side so that it is half the original thickness and place cheese in between the two pieces like a sandwich. You can cut the cheese so that it matches the size of the tofu or put lots of smaller pieces in between. Make sure that the tofu is covered with the cheese.

Heat oil in a frying pan and fry both sides of the tofu. Transfer the tofu to a plate and cover with soy sauce. It's delicious when the cheese inside melts like the photo! Wrap the tofu in the nori and you're done!

Just Tofu Homemade Aburaage Just Tofu Homemade Aburaage
I really, really wanted to make the "takoyaki-sized inari sushi" that I saw at a department store.If you don't do it right, they turn out like a tough sponge. I've been down that road before. For best results, use pure and firm tofu.I referred to many websites for inspiration. You must fry one slice to test. Unfortunately, if it doesn't spread out, then you can't make aburaage. Use the tofu for other dishes like mapo tofu. Recipe by Motokuma cookpad.japan -
