Fried Tofu With Spicy Garlic Sauce – Hiroko’s Recipes


‘Agedashi Tofu’, a very popular Japanese Tofu dish, can be enjoyed with a sauce of any flavours. This time I tried a spicy garlic sauce. I cut Tofu smaller pieces than usual, and found the cooking task more challenging. I recommend to cut into 4-5cm that is the common size.
