Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If you don't want to make katsuobushi broth from scratch, you can easily substitute it with store-bought Hondashi.
  • If making tare sauce is too much trouble, you can use store-bought udon sauce or tsuyu instead.
  • Instead of soft silken tofu, you can use firm pan-frying tofu which is easier to handle.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy the luxurious deep-fried tofu dish from Japanese restaurants or izakayas at home.
  • Those who want to challenge themselves with a silken tofu fry dish that embodies the perfect crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside texture.
  • Those who love the deep umami of katsuobushi and the harmony of sweet and savory sauce.
