Ingredients
- 400 grams firm tofu
- 100 grams cornstarch
- 500 ml vegetable oil
- 60 ml gluten-free soy sauce
- 60 ml mirin
- 250 ml dashi stock (gluten-free)
- 50 grams grated daikon radish
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
Directions
Step 1
Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Place a flat weight over it to press out excess water, leaving it for approximately 10 minutes.
Step 2
While the tofu is being pressed, prepare the broth. In a small saucepan, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, mirin, and gluten-free dashi stock. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, turn off the heat and set aside.
Step 3
After pressing, cut the tofu into cubes of about 2 inches (5 cm) each.
Step 4
Pour the cornstarch onto a plate and roll the tofu cubes in the cornstarch, making sure each cube is evenly coated.
Step 5
In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 180°C (355°F). If you don’t have a thermometer, the oil is ready when a small piece of tofu dropped in the oil sizzles immediately.
Step 6
Carefully add the tofu cubes into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid crowding. Fry each side until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the tofu and drain excess oil on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 7
To serve, place the fried tofu cubes in a shallow bowl. Spoon the prepared broth over the tofu.
Step 8
Top each serving with a small amount of grated daikon, chopped green onions, and a touch of grated ginger.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Gluten-Free Agedashi Tofu warm.
