Deep-fried Tofu with Thickened Mushroom Sauce
- 1 block Silken tofu
- 50 grams Enoki mushrooms
- 50 grams Shimeji mushrooms
- 1 dash Leeks or green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 Katakuriko
- 2 tsp Katakuriko slurry (1:1 ratio of water to katakuriko)
- 1 Yuzu pepper
- 200 ml Dashi stock
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 pinch Salt
- Slice the stem end of the enoki mushrooms, cut in half and shred.
- Cut the stems off the shimeji mushrooms and shred as well.
- Put the ingredients listed under A into a pan.
- When the mixture comes to a boil, add the mushrooms from Step 1, simmer over medium heat for 1 minute, then add the katakuriko slurry to thicken.
- The mushroom sauce is done.
- Next, cut the block of tofu in half, sandwich between paper towels and leave for 5 minutes to drain excess moisture, then coat with katakuriko.
- Deep fry the tofu in medium-hot oil for 3 minutes and it's done (I fried the tofu in a small frying pan with about 1 cm of oil).
- Pour the piping hot mushroom sauce and green onions over the fried tofu....
- If you dissolve yuzu pepper paste in the sauce, it's absolutely terrific.
