Steps to make Vegan Agedashi Tofu with Seaweed π±:
- Prepare the vegan dashi stock in advance. You will need to lightly simmer 1 shiitake and 1 inch piece of kombu per cup of water. A long and gentle simmer is best but if you are short of time you can make in half an hour. Cool until ready to use. Vegan dashi can be used in lots of recipes and adds umami π.
- 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)..
