I just made some crispy tofu like you've written and it was really yummy! A common dish in sushi restaurants here is agedashi tofu, which is fried tofu in a soy-mirin sauce. Amit loves it, so making this crispy tofu was along the same lines. Yum yum!
Thanks Jo - I like the sound of agedashi tofu - will have to give that a go ;-)
Crispy tofu is now a regular on our menu - the husband doesn't even notice that there is no meat in the meal! I usually put it with a vegetable noodle stir fry with soy, ginger, garlic, mirin and sesame oil.
Thanks for introducing it to me!
