I got this recipe from a random German lady in a gaming community and its never let me down:
Mix the following in a small bowl:
-1 finely cut scallion
-2 tbsp soy sauce
-1 tbsp mirin
-1 tbsp sugar
-0.5 tsp minced garlic
-0.5 tsp minced ginger
-1 tsp sesame seeds (toasted or untoasted)
-1tsp Korean chili flakes
as for me, I also add like a teaspoon of Korean chili paste
I also have a ginger/garlic paste from the Asia store which I like to use if I don't have fresh ginger and it's just as good!
This is for 200grams of Tofu
The Tofu should be a firm sort, drain it a bit and then cut to slices
Put in a pan with oil and fry 5 min, then turn around and fry again for 5 min, it should have a crunchy texture
Add the stuff you mixed in the bowl and let it simmer for 3 min, that's it!
I usually put it on a bed of salad (mangold, rucola and fresh spinach go so well) which I mixed with only a bit of a light dressing on oil base (like this time I made one of olive oil, herbal vinegar, salt, pepper, honey and rough-grained mustard)
But a simple herbal dressing from the bottle is fine too, I just think the sour/herbal taste goes really well with the tofu and you don't even need anything else with it!
so if you prepare the sauce and salad as the tofu fries, you really only spend 15min in the kitchen for it
