Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes


Ingredients:


· 2 blocks cotton Organic tofu

· ½ cup water

· ¼ cup soysauce

· 1 whole onion sliced

· 1 teabag tea

· 1 Tbsp mirin (optional)

· 1 Tbsp flour/corn starch and 1Tbsp water, mixed

· 3 Tbsp grated fresh ginger

· 2 Tbsp brown sugar

· Salt and Pepper to taste

· *flour/corn starch for dusting tofu

· *vegetable oil for frying.


Preparation:

To drain tofu, wrap tofu with paper towels and place it on a cutting board. Put another cutting board or a plate on top of the tofu and let sit for about 15 minutes. Dry tofu with paper towels and cut each tofu in half. Dust tofu with flour.




Meanwhile, put soy sauce, ginger, onion, teabag, and mirin in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add starch mixture in the sauce and stir quickly. Remove from heat.

Heat oil in 350 degrees F in a deep pot. Deep-fry tofu until they turn lightly brown.


Place each fried tofu in a small dish


Pour the sauce over it and let it stand for 3 minutes so that the sauce will be absorbed by the tofu!"


This dish will definitely make two people happy and healthy! Please try this recipe at home and let me know your thoughts....
