- Gently drain the tofu and place on kitchen paper. You canβt press in the same way as you would a firmed tofu as itβs really delicate. Cut into cubes.
- Prepare the sauce by using a little dashi stock and simmering in a pan with soy sauce or ponzu and a few pinches of sugar. The sauce will thicken slightly but donβt overcook. I seasoned mine with some lemon verbena from the garden. It should be served warm and the cubes will sit in the sauce.
- Dip each side of the tofu square into the potato flour. Heat a little oil and gently fry on each side. It should colour but not brown.
- Sprinkle with your choice of toppings (you only need a tiny bit). This time I used nori and aonori seaweed, spring onion, ginger and grated pinch radish. I also like grated white radish (mooli).
