Feeling like going meatless for dinner? Try tofu in oyster sauce. With its thick sauce, rich flavor and the aroma of sesame seed oil, you won’t miss your meat.
Age (pronounced ah-geh) means deep fried. Dashi, of course, is the stock made from bonito flakes and kelp. This is a dish of fried tofu served with a sauce made with dashi, soy sauce, rice wine and ginger. Hence, agedashi tofu. For me, it’s the queen of tofu dishes. Squares of fried delicate soft tofu served with a light salty-sweet sauce.
