Japanese Tofu Steak - Tofu Recipe

If you love tofu, this Japanese Tofu Steak is the recipe you should try next. Pan-fried and served with homemade teriyaki sauce or ponzu sauce, this tofu recipe is full of flavor, healthy and easy to make.

Ingredient

1 block

medium-firm tofu

1/2 teaspoon

grated ginger

1 teaspoon

grated garlic

1 tablespoon

soy sauce

1 tablespoon

mirin

1 tablespoon

sake

1/2 tablespoon

sugar

1/2 tablespoon

lemon juice

1/2 tablespoon

rice vinegar

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Wrap the tofu in paper towels and put some weight on the top to drain the excess water. Do this for about 30 minutes.

* Step 2

In the meantime, thinly slice the green onion. Grate the ginger and garlic.

* Step 3

Grate the daikon radish. With your hand, slightly squeeze out the excess daikon juice. You don’t want the grated daikon to be too wet or too dry.

* Step 4

When the tofu block is ready (after 30 minutes), cut it into equal-sized pieces. For my tofu block, I was able to cut it into 10 pieces; each piece is about 1” by 2” by 1/2”.

* Step 5

In a clean bowl, add some potato starch. Then coat the tofu pieces evenly. You want to do this right before tofu is ready to be pan-fried.

* Step 6

In a pan, add 1 to 2 tbsp of oil and fry tofu on medium-high heat. You want to fry each side of the tofu pieces for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. When the tofu are done, take them out and serve with the sauce of your choice.

* Step 7

To make the teriyaki sauce, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of mirin, 1 tablespoon of sake, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of grated garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon of grated ginger to a pan. Heat the sauce mixture on low heat. The sauce is ready once the sugar is all dissolved.

* Step 8

To serve the tofu with teriyaki sauce, simply drizzle the sauce on top of the fried tofu. And garnish with some green onion.

* Step 9

To make the ponzu sauce, in a clean bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/2 tbsp of rice vinegar. For demonstration purposes, I only use half of the ingredients measurement for 1/2 block of tofu. As I mentioned before, you can adjust the ingredients for a larger or smaller amount of sauce.
