Serves 4
Ingredients
300g Clearspring Tofu
For marinade
2 tbsp Clearspring Mikawa Mirin
1 tbsp Clearspring Shizengo Sake, Clearspring Tamaki Sake or dry white wine
a dash of Clearspring Shoyu Soya Sauce
OR, instead of above, 3 tbsp Clearspring Teriyaki Sauce
1 tbsp Clearspring Toasted Sesame Oil
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 spring onions, finely chopped
Method
1. Cut the tofu into four equal slices, and put it onto a plate. Mix the mirin, sake or wine, and shoyu, then pour this marinade over the tofu. Alternatively, use Organic Teriyaki Sauce. Turn the tofu to coat all sides and leave to marinate for 15-20 minutes, turning it now and then.
2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium to low heat. Remove the tofu and fry on one side until lightly browned – be careful not to burn it. Turn and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Add the remaining marinade and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
3. Place a slice of tofu on each plate, spreading a little of the liquid left in the pan over each slice. Squeeze a few drops of juice out of the grated ginger onto each serving, and sprinkle some of the spring onion over the top. Serve hot with sea vegetable salad or mochi.
