Introduction
This is a fluffy egg tofu that can be easily made using only a microwave with 4 basic ingredients. Based on silken tofu and eggs, it is finished with a warm, dashi-based thickened sauce for a gentle, elegant flavor. A healthy dish that is also great for budget-friendly meals and dieting.
Step 1
Place the silken tofu in a bowl and whisk thoroughly until completely smooth and free of lumps.
Step 2
Add the egg, shiro-dashi, and water to the smooth tofu and whisk until the mixture is uniform and well-combined.
Step 3
Line a heat-resistant bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it firmly against the sides, and pour in the egg mixture. Tap the bowl a few times to release air bubbles, and heat uncovered in a 600W microwave for 2 minutes.
Step 4
Remove to check the consistency. If the center still looks raw, heat for an additional 30 seconds at 600W. Once cooked, immediately cover the surface with plastic wrap and let it sit to cool to room temperature.
Step 5
In a separate heat-resistant bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, dashi granules, and potato starch. Once there are no lumps, add water, mix, and heat uncovered in a 600W microwave for 1 minute. Remove, stir quickly from the bottom, heat for another 1 minute, then stir in the sesame oil.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Always use 'silken tofu' to prevent a grainy texture and ensure a smooth finish. 💡
Adding a small amount of water to the egg tofu relaxes the egg proteins, resulting in a fluffier and softer texture. 🍳
Heating times are estimates. If the center is not yet set, continue heating in 10-30 second increments while checking progress. ⚠️
To prevent the potato starch from clumping at the bottom, remove the sauce halfway through heating to stir well, then heat in two stages for a smooth consistency. ⏱️
