I wanted to make a healthy yet delicious tofu kara-age.

Use plenty of garlic to taste for a stronger aroma.

Shio-koji burns easily so be careful. The soy sauce is used simply to add saltiness and aroma, so only a little is necessary...

If you like a sweeter taste, add mirin. Recipe by Magumago

Steps

1

Defrost the frozen tofu. It should take about half a day to naturally defrost.
2

Gently use your hand or a weight to press down on the tofu to drain it. Well-drained tofu makes for a better texture.
3

Combine all of the seasoning ingredients into a container. Use your hands to break off pieces of the frozen tofu and have it absorb the seasoning ingredients.
4

Let it marinate for a while. Gently squeeze the tofu, then coat in katakuriko and fry.
5

If you tilt the frying pan, you can even fry them with a small amount of oil.
