豆腐ステーキ Recipe: A Delicious Meatless Option

Introduction

Ingredients

• 1 block of firm tofu (14-ounce)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon mirin
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

1. First, you need to prepare the tofu. Drain the tofu and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut it into four even slices.
2. Next, sprinkle cornstarch on both sides of the tofu slices.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the tofu slices and cook until both sides are crispy and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
4. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
5. Add the garlic and ginger to the same pan and stir-fry for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
6. Add the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, water, and sesame oil to the pan. Stir well to combine.
7. Return the tofu slices to the pan and coat them with the sauce.
8. Cook the tofu for another minute or two until the sauce has thickened and the tofu is heated through.
9. Serve the tofu steak hot, garnished with chopped green onions.

Tips and Variations

• Use firm or extra-firm tofu for this recipe. Silken tofu will not hold up well during cooking.
• If you don’t have cornstarch, you can use potato starch or arrowroot starch instead. They will work just as well.
• If you want to make this dish vegan, make sure to use a vegan-friendly alternative to the mirin.
• You can add some vegetables to this dish to make it more filling. Try adding some broccoli, bok choy, or bell peppers.
• If you want a spicier version of this dish, you can add some chili flakes or Sriracha sauce to the sauce.
• You can also try different sauces with your tofu steak. Teriyaki sauce or miso sauce would be great options.
