Savory Tofu Steak

Hi peeps! How’s your weekend coming along? I would like to share with you another easy to do recipe, yet super healthy and delicious dish!

If you enjoy dining at Teriyaki Boy, chances are you’ve already tried their “Tofu Steak,” they serve it as an appetizer but hubby and I partners it with rice, lol. We just love it!

            It’s a popular choice for vegetarians as well, because it’s an excellent source of protein. Some say it’s also high in calcium and iron, great replacement for meat!

           
What you need:

450 grams firm tofu block
¾ cup flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tbsp evap milk or water
2 cups tempura breadcrumbs
Oil for frying

2 cloves garlic
1 medium –sized onion
100g ground chicken meat
1 ½ cup shitake mushroom
2 tbsp Mirin
1 ½ tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp  vinegar
1 tbsp oyster
¼ cup water
1/8 cup sugar
Salt & pepper

 

What to do:

1.      Cut the tofu to your desired square size, then place a paper towel on bottom and on top to remove excess water (for 5 minutes).

2.       Dredge the tofu to the seasoned flour, dip in egg and cover with the bread crumbs.

3.      Heat a non-stick pan to a medium heat, deep fry the tofu for about 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.

5.      Put the rest of the ingredients, and cook for another 5 minutes.

6.      Arrange the tofu on a serving dish, top with the mushroom sauce mixture and sprinkle with green onions as garnish.
