Has anyone ever tried a Japanese style tofu steak? I have
never been a big fan of tofu, but when I tried it this way I was really blown
away. It tastes so satisfying and comforting, but it's really healthy. I found
a good recipe for it on www.eat-japan.com, which has lots of really good
Japanese recipes. I highly recommend it - I think you'll be really surprised!
Here is the recipe of Tofu Steak:
INGREDIENTS
Serves 1
- 280g firm tofu (1 standard size block, strained)
- 100g shimeji mushrooms
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 clove garlic, 5g butter
- 1 1/2tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sake
HOW TO COOK
- Wrap the tofu in a tea towel and place something on top of it such as
a small bowl to force out excess water, leave the bowl in position for
about 15 minutes.
- Cut the drained tofu into 3 even pieces. Slice the garlic finely.
- Fry the garlic in the butter until browned, before removing it, and
saute the shimeji mushrooms until soft and then remove them.
- Place the tofu in the pan and fry both sides on a medium heat. Put
the garlic back in the pan and add the soy sauce and sake as finishing
touch. Serve with the mushroom.
