STEP 1
<Preparation>
-Wrap the tofu with a paper towel and drain by placing a plate on it.
-Cut off the hard stem part of the mushrooms. Thinly slice the shiitake. Tear and separate the enoki and shimeji mushrooms.
-Mix the potato starch with water.
-Chop the green onion
STEP 2
Cut the tofu into 3 to 4cm-thick pieces. Sprinkle salt, put the grated garlic, and dust with the flour.
STEP 3
Heat sesame seed oil in a frying pan. Add the tofu and pan-fry the surface to a crisp over medium heat.
STEP 4
Mix the sauce ingredients in a small pot, add the mushrooms, and heat quickly. Add soluble potato starch to thicken.
STEP 5
Place the tofu and mushrooms in a serving dish and pour the sauce. Sprinkle the green onion or chives to garnish.
- Choose chilled firm tofu for this recipe. Room-temperature tofu in an airtight pack is too soft for steak.
- You can also use tempeh (fermented soy food in Indonesia) or atsuage (thick, deep-fried tofu) instead of firm tofu.
- You can subtitute potato starch with cornstarch.
