Make sure to sprinkle plenty of katakuriko on the tofu, but don't sprinkle so much that it becomes bulky.Step 5 - Garnished with green onions or grated daikon radish gives this a refreshing touch.

Salty Fried Firm Tofu Salty Fried Firm Tofu
I haven't been able to get hold of the right chicken to make a certain salty fried chicken that I like at my local supermarket. I wanted to eat it so I used convenience-store tofu to make fried tofu and made something similar.Wet your hands slightly when you are forming the batter into balls. Pour some lemon juice on top according to your preference. You can skip the salt from the ☆ ingredients and adjust the amount of salt after they are fried according to your preference. You could serve it with a large amount of lettuce and 1 tablespoon each of soy sauce, vinegar and sugar mixed in. It's delicious if you also add sweet vinegar sauce on top. (You could also skip the salt from the ☆ ingredients here, too if you do this.) Recipe by Aitaso cookpad.japan -
