Ganmodoki Fritters from Tofu

• 1 block Tofu
• 1/2 stalk Japanese leek
• 1 Egg
• 30 grams Carrot
• 2 to 3 Shiitake mushrooms (but for these I had maitake mushrooms)
• 1 Sesame seeds
• 1 to 2 tablespoons Katakuriko
• 1 Oil for deep frying

1. You can mix anything with the tofu, like burdock root, dried shrimp, chirimen jako, or whatever you have in your refrigerator.
2. Drain the water from the tofu.
3. If you are in a hurry microwave for 2 minutes at 600 W!
4. Crush the tofu with a fork...
5. Add the katakuriko, sesame seeds and egg and mix well.
6. Add the finely chopped vegetables and other things and mix in.
7. Form into patties like small hamburgers, tossing it back and forth between your hands.
8. Deep fry the patties in 180C oil.
9. I got 15 fritters out of 1 block of tofu.
10. We had it with ponzu sauce!
11. You can freeze them too!
