My Family's Favorite Meat-Wrapped Koya Dofu
- 1 1/2 pieces Koya dofu (freeze-dried tofu)
- 150 grams Thinly sliced pork belly
- 1 Sesame seeds
- 1 Yakiniku sauce (bottled)
- 600 ml Water
- 4 tbsp Soy sauce
- 4 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Mirin
- 2 tbsp Sake
- 2 tbsp Shiro-dashi
- This time, I cooked this whole pack of koya dofu (5 pieces).
- I used 1 1/2 pieces to make the meat-wrapped koya dofu.
- Combine all the seasoning ingredients in a sauce pan to make a stock.
- Line up the koya dofu pieces in a frying pan neatly so each piece will get an even amount of liquid; then add the warm broth from Step 2.
- Simmer for 3-4 minutes over low heat, and preparation is done.
- Transfer the koya dofu to a plate, and gently squeeze out the excess liquid.
- Cut 1 piece of koya dofu into 10 even pieces.
- Cut the other pieces the same way.
- Cut the pork into 4 even pieces.
- Wrap the koya dofu with the pork.
- Coat the rolled pork with katakuriko.
- Shake off any excess flour.
- Put the meat-wrapped koya dofu seam side down in the pan, and fry.
- Don't touch the meat until it browns properly to start with, so that it won't come undone.
- If any excess fat comes out from the meat, wipe off with kitchen paper.
- Fry until the meat browns all over, rolling it as you cook.
- Pour in yakiniku sauce and sprinkle with white sesame seeds.
- Coat the meat in the sauce really well, shaking the frying pan.
- It's done.
