PAN FRIED TOFU IN KUZU SAUCE

Ingredients: 1 pack of tofu, cut into slices and dried with a towel

Dark sesame oil

1½ Tbsp of Kuzu, diluted in 3 Tbsp of cold water

1 onion, cut into small cubes

3 carrots, cut into cubes

1 large broccoli, cut into small florets

1 TB of mirin

Preparation: Heat the sesame oil in a skillet and fry the tofu till browned on both sides. Remove and place the tofu on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Then place the fried tofu slices in a pan with the carrots and onions. Add water and seasoning and boil for about 10 minutes. Place the broccoli in and simmer for another 4 minutes. Remove the tofu and vegetables and place on a serving plate. Stir the diluted kuzu into the simmering broth, and continue stirring till the white color of the kuzu becomes clear and the broth thickens. Pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Garnish with green onions and serve.
