Tofu steak with a japanese glazing


Tofu is a perfect substitute for a beef steak or chicken fillet, so, if you are a vegetarian, or have a vegetarian around you, like me, this tofu will satisfy them and they will love it. I am not a vegetarian myself, but I love this tofu recipe, because tofu on its own has no much flavour, but with this sauce it becomes succulent and delicious. You can buy the ingredients at any oriental supermarket.


Ingredients:
One block of firm tofu
cornflour
sesame oil (2 or 3 spoonfuls)


For the sauce:
Four spoonfuls mirin
Four spoonfuls sake
Two spoonfuls soy sauce
One spoonful sugar


Method:
Cut the tofu in thick slices, coat with the cornflour and fry in the sesame oil for two minutes. Turn it over, very carefully, and brown for another minute, then mix the ingredients of the sauce, making sure that the sugar has dissolved, and pour it over the tofu, shake the pan slightly, and leave the sauce to thicken, when it has become a syrup, turn off the heat, and put the tofu in a serving dish, pour over the sauce, and sprinkle with chives, or the green part of spring onions.

  1. En cuanto traduzca del todo esta receta la hago.

    Yo no soy vegetariana pero me encanta el Tofu, las hamburguesas vegetales, el setán........, siempre lo como sólo, directamente del paquete o bien a la plancha. También lo uso como acompañamiento de ensaladas, a modo de queso.

    Por lo tanto, esta receta que propones, estoy segura de que me encantará.

    ¡Ah!, antes de que se me olvide, gracias por tu visita y que sepas que, a mi, también me está encantando tu blog.

    Un besote, mi solete.
