Agedashi Tofu

 
Agedashi Tofu
One of my most favorite Japanese dishes - Agedashi Tofu - deep fried tofu in Batter. Deja Vu Time again - have I spoken about this before?
How to make Agedashi Tofu below. How good is your Japanese listening ability? Can you make the out the chef saying "Agedashi Tofu" ?
Hmmm. I should be going to get some dinner now.

Haven't tried this myself, though many of my friends swear by it. I do remember a perhaps similar dish from my favorite Thai restaurant back home: fried tofu served in a really tasty sauce with coriander. Mm...

I'd put some rice in it too.
(Love putting rice in soups, stews, etc. -including miso-, adds consistency and flavor) 
I know, it's madness and blasphemy. ^^;

Hmmm i never ate Tofu, though people telling me that it has absolutly no taste. So i supose this Tofu here gets the taste from the soup and the spring onions.

Looks actualy healthy, though fried = now lot's of fat tofu? ^o^

Yep heard the "Agendashi Dofu" lol... least did sound like "Dofu" to me.

Also, i like the dish in your big picture more then in the finished video version, just looks more tasty. 
Gomen ne Mister Chef-sensei. ^^*

Tami, you should try eating tofu and found out about the taste by yourself.
Tofu can be cook in many ways, like stewed, BBQ'ed, fried, so you can choose how healthy your tofu should be.
There's also soy bean milk, a milk version of tofu, which is very healthy and delicious.

I must try tofu as soon as possible. Everyone says that it's delicious, so I want to check myself. I heard the chef saying it, I think he said it quite clearly :)

No tofu for me. Tofu is an evil food that can cause all kind of damage that most men wouldn't like. Started doing some body building and it would totally annihilate my goal lol. Well, it might be a little good for women. More info at this link :P http://www.t-nation.com/findArticle.do?article=body_143soy

It's one of my favourites as well.  Not a very common dish unless you go to a proper Japanese restaurant here (Melb, Aust.) I've found.  Last time I had it was an all-you-can-eat Japanese teppanyaki place and even then, they'd take plenty of time to bring this out.

Do you like or have you ever had "stinky tofu", Danny?
