Kaminari Dofu
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 2 blocks momen (cotton) tofu
- 4 tablespoons Japanese sesame oil
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce or to taste
- grated Daikon radish to taste, drain off excess water
- 1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped
- Togarashi (dried red pepper) or cayenne pepper to taste
- Wasabi horseradish to taste
Instructions
- Place the tofu between 2 plates and leave for 20 to 30 minutes. Drain off the excess water, and mash the tofu between your fingers. Wrap in a clean towel (or cheesecloth) and firmly press out as much remaining water as you can.
- Heat the oil in a wok. Add the unwrapped tofu and stir quickly. Add soy sauce and continue cooking over high heat for a few minutes.
- To serve, place the tofu mixture in bowls, topped with grated daikon, sprinkle with green onions and togarashi. Put a dab of wasabi in the center and serve piping hot. You can also serve this family style, in a large bowl.
Notes
Have all your ingredients prepped and prepared as this dish needs to be served piping hot.
