Agedashi tofu is a light dish from Japanese breakfast tables, made by dusting soft tofu in cornflour and crisping it in the airfryer with far less oil than traditional deep-frying. Draining the tofu thoroughly is what lets the coating turn crisp. Served in a sauce with no added sweetener, it's also a fitting option for anyone watching their blood sugar.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Press the tofu

20 min

Wrap the tofu in a cloth, place a weight on top and press for 20 minutes, then cut into cubes.

2

Coat in cornflour

5 min

Lightly dust the tofu cubes in the cornflour, shaking off the excess, then drizzle with the olive oil.

3

Cook in the airfryer

12 min

Arrange the tofu cubes in a single layer in the airfryer basket and cook until golden and crisp on every side.

4

Serve with the sauce

3 min

Warm the vegetable stock with the soy sauce, pour over the crisp tofu and scatter with spring onion to serve.

Reminder

Press the tofu under a weight for at least 20 minutes before cutting; too much residual water stops the cornflour from sticking and the coating won't crisp. Allergens: contains soy (tofu).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Adding a few drops of fish sauce to the sauce gives it the deeper umami flavour typical of Japanese restaurants.

Tofuyu tam 20 dakika ağırlıkla süzdüm, nişasta mükemmel yapıştı ve airfryer'dan gerçekten çıtır çıktı.
