Butabara Agedashi Dofu（豚バラ揚げ出汁豆腐）
What kind of dish is Agedashi Tofu??
Agedashi Tofu is a Japanese tofu dish.
Kinugoshi tofu is cut into cubes, lightly coated with potato starch or cornstarch, and deep-fried until golden brown.
It is then dipped in a warm tempura sauce made with dashi, mirin, and soy sauce.
Agedashi can also use vegetables other than tofu, such as eggplant and pumpkin.
Agedashi is famous as a vegetarian dish and often appears in shojin ryori (vegetarian cuisine),.
But in this unique agedashi recipe, the tofu is wrapped in pork belly, which adds richness and flavor.
By wrapping soft tofu in pork belly, it is less likely to lose its shape and is easier to cook.
For the topping, I used ito-negi and ito-chili pepper.
“Itonegi” is another name for “asatsuki,” a type of green onion with long, thin leaves. “Ito” means string, and “ito-negi” emphasizes the thinness of the green onion leaves.
It’s hard to find at regular supermarkets, so you can use green onions instead.
It’s also delicious with some bonito flakes sprinkled on top.
