Small bowl

Ingredients

300 grams medium tofu
cornstarch or potato starch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 green onion
2 radish

Teriyaki sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons mirin if you have sake, you can use ½ sake and ½ mirin

Instructions

Drain excess water from the tofu by wrapping it in a paper towel and placing something heavy on it. Wait for 30 minutes.
Mix the ingredients of the teriyaki sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
Cut tofu into squares, about 1,5cm thick. Place some cornstarch on a plate and coat the pieces of tofu with it.
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, place the tofu in the pan and cook until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
In the meanwhile, chop the green onion. Then, grate the radishes over a paper towel. When grated, squeeze the grated radishes with the towel over a plate or the sink to drain the excess liquid.
When both the sides of the tofu are golden brown, add the teriyaki sauce by trying to pour it over each slice. Try to coat each slice with the sauce and flip them if needed, to coat everything.
When the teriyaki sauce thickens, after only a few moments in the hot pan, turn off the heat and plate the tofu, pouring in the remaining sauce as well.
Top with green onions and grated radish. If you eat fish, you may also add dried bonito flakes on top (katsuobushi) if you wish.
Serve immediately.
