Have you ever had agedashi at a Japanese restaurant? I can’t get enough of this dish. Tofu pieces are quickly sautéed in hot oil until each side is golden brown and crisp. Presented on a simple rectangular platter, the agedashi is accompanied by a sweet sauce of dashi, mirin, and soy sauce broth. No matter what else I am ordering, this is always on my list.
In the spirit of this dish, I developed these two recipes. The fried tofu is exceptionally crispy, but there is a good amount of oil in this recipe. The oven-baked method isn’t quite as crispy but is still crisp and tasty.
