Directions

Step 1
Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess water. Cut into 8 equal cubes.
Step 2
Lightly coat each tofu cube evenly with potato starch or cornstarch, shaking off any excess.
Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the tofu cubes in batches until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 4
For the sauce, combine dashi stock, soy sauce, and mirin in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 5
Place 4 tofu cubes into each serving bowl. Ladle the hot dashi sauce over the tofu.
Step 6
Garnish with grated daikon radish, grated ginger, and sliced scallions. Serve immediately.
