Agedashi Tofu is a classic Japanese appetizer consisting of deep-fried tofu in a warm broth. In this recipe, we have baked the tofu instead of frying it, making it lighter and healthier. The broth is made with dashi, tamari soy sauce, and ginger, and contains sliced daikon radishes for added flavor and nutrition. This dish is easy to prepare and a great option for a cozy night in or a potluck party. Enjoy the comforting warmth of the soup and the crispy texture of the tofu with each bite!

Instructions

1.Preheat the toaster oven to 400°F.
2.Cut the tofu into 8 equal pieces and pat them dry with paper towels.
3.Dust the tofu with potato starch and place them on a baking sheet.
4.Spray the top of the tofu generously with cooking spray and bake for 15 minutes.
5.While the tofu is baking, make the soup by combining dashi, tamari soy sauce, sake, and grated ginger in a small pot.
6.Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce the heat to low.
7.Add the sliced daikon radishes into the soup and simmer for 10 minutes.
8.Mix 2 teaspoons of potato starch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and slowly stir the mixture into the soup to thicken it.
9.Divide the baked tofu among four bowls and ladle the soup over the top.
10.Garnish with sliced green onions and nanami togarashi (optional).

PROS

This recipe is also vegetarian and gluten-free.

The dish can be easily reheated for leftovers.

CONS

The recipe requires a few more steps than the traditional Agedashi Tofu recipe, which may be more time-consuming.
The soup contains some sodium, so this recipe may not be suitable for those on a low-sodium diet.
