Deep-Fried Tofu That Tastes Like Meat (Western and Japanese Variations)

• 1 block Firm tofu
• 1 egg Beaten egg
• 5 tbsp Cake flour
• 5 tbsp Katakuriko
• 1 can Canned tuna
• 1 tbsp Grated cheese
• 2 tbsp Minced parsely
• 1/2 tsp Krazy Salt
• 1 Coarsely ground pepper
• 2 tbsp Minced green onions
• 1/2 tsp Salt and pepper

1. Drain excess water from firm tofu.
2. Discard drained water, put tofu on a heat-resistant dish, then microwave for about 3 minutes at 500W.
3. After it cooks, put a colander in a bowl and transfer the tofu to the colander.
4. Let the tofu sit for 1 hour.
5. If water builds up while sitting, drain it off.
6. After 1 hour, a block of firm tofu that weighed 360 g should now weigh about 310 g.
7. Roughly crumble the tofu into a bowl using your hands, and add the remaining ingredients.
8. Lightly drain the canned tuna before adding.
9. For the western style version, add parsley, Krazy Salt, and coarsely ground pepper.
10. For the Japanese style version, add Ajishio-kosho seasoning salt with pepper and minced green onions, then stir.
11. Once it is well blended, drop about a tablespoon into medium-hot oil and deep fry until golden.
12. When they're nice and crispy, they're ready to serve!
13. This is the Japanese-style version.
14. Serve it with ponzu (Chinese citrus-based sauce)!
15. I substituted tempura flour for cake flour, and it turned out okay!
16. If you don't drain the tofu, the texture will be different.
