Steps to make Vegan Agedashi Tofu 🌱:
- Gently drain the tofu and place on kitchen paper. You can’t press in the same way as you would a firmed tofu as it’s really delicate. Cut into cubes.
- Prepare the sauce by using a little dashi stock (you will need to prepare this in advance by soaking and lightly simmering the shiitake and seaweed) and boiling in a pan with soy sauce or ponzu and a few punches of sugar. The sauce will thicken slightly but don’t overcook. It should be served warm.
- Dip each side of the tofu square into the potato flour. Heat a little oil and gently fry on each side. It should colour but not brown.
- Sprinkle with your choice of toppings (you only need a tiny bit). I used spring onion, ginger and shichimi. I also like grated white radish (mooli) and sometimes use pink radish and seaweeds.
