Ingredients:

1 block of firm tofu (400g)

2 tablespoons of cornstarch or potato starch

1 cup of dashi broth (240ml)

2 tablespoons of soy sauce (30ml)

2 tablespoons of mirin (30ml)

1 tablespoon of sugar (15g)

1/2 teaspoon of grated ginger (2g)

2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for frying (30ml)

Grated daikon radish and green onions for garnish

Cooking Instructions:

Cut the tofu into cubes and pat dry with paper towels. Place the cubes in a bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch or potato starch. Gently toss to coat the cubes evenly.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tofu cubes and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the dashi broth, soy sauce, mirin, sugar and grated ginger. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Place the fried tofu cubes in individual bowls then pour the dashi broth mixture over top. Garnish with grated daikon radish and green onions if desired. Serve immediately while hot!
