Ingredients

• 1 block of firm tofu (300g), drained and cut into small cubes
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup dashi broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons mirin
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 1 green onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon bonito flakes (optional)

Directions

1. Prepare the Tofu: Start by draining the tofu and cutting it into small cubes. Carefully pat the tofu dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

2. Coat the Tofu: Place the cornstarch in a shallow dish and coat each tofu cube evenly with the cornstarch. This will help create a crispy texture when cooked.

3. Cook the Tofu: In a non-stick pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the coated tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Make the Sauce: In a separate saucepan, combine the dashi broth, soy sauce, mirin, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

5. Serve the Agedashi Tofu: Place the cooked tofu cubes on a serving plate and pour the hot sauce over them. Garnish with sliced green onions and bonito flakes, if using.
