Salty Fried Firm Tofu

• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 1 dash less than 2 teaspoons Mayonnaise (low-fat mayonnaise is fine)
• 1/2 tsp Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Salt (please read the hints)
• 2 tbsp Katakuriko
• 1 just under 1 cm Garlic (from a tube)
• 1 just under 1 cm Ginger (from a tube)
• 1 Cake flour (batter)
• 1 Frying oil (canola, olive oil)

1. Thoroughly drain the water from the firm tofu.
2. Add the ingredients into a bowl and mix together.
3. Sprinkle cake flour onto a plate.
4. Form the mixture in the bowl into bite-size balls and roll around on the plate to cover them with the flour.
5. Add plenty of oil into a frying pan and heat.
6. Form the balls into nugget shapes and fry in the oil.
7. To remove the moisture from the tofu I place the tofu onto a plate without plastic wrap and heat in a microwave at 600W for 2 minutes.
8. Place a chopping board or slightly heavy bowl on top of the tofu when it has cooled.
9. The batter is too soft so you can wet your hands, shape it into a ball, roll on the plate and fry it like that.
