Abura-age (Thin Fried Tofu) & Egg Rice Bowl

This dish is almost identical to my ‘Tofu & Egg Rice Bowl’, but the texture is meat-like and quite different. ‘Abura-age’ is thinly sliced & deep-fried Tofu. It is popularly used for Japanese cooking as a plant-based protein. I like this dish not very sweet, but you may wish to add more Sugar.
