Today I introduce you to “Pan-Fried Tofu with Delicious Sweet Savory Dashi Sauce”. This dish is typical Japanese homemade dish which is called “Agedashi Tofu” in Japanese.
*When you use my homemade kelp dashi stock, this dish is going to be vegan dish. And if you want it to be gluten free, please use gluten free soy sauce.
*My Kelp Dashi recipe is here: Kelp Dashi stock
*You can buy vegetarian kelp dashi powder on Amazon: Kombu Dashi Powder with No MSG (Vegetarian Soup Stock)
In regular recipe for this dish, tofu is deep-fried but sometimes I feel deep-frying is a little bit too much work so in my recipe I cook tofu in a pan using only 2 Tbsp. of oil. It is easy, healthy and delicious, and also it still has great crunchy texture!
The recipe outline:
- Drain tofu in the microwave.
- Coat the tofu with corn starch and cook in the pan.
- Cook the sauce and drizzle the tofu with it.

I love agedashi tofu. I have only had it at one restaurant in Austin. The name of the restaurant is called Mikado. I reviewed the restaurant on my blog. The tofu is so light and airy that it just melts in my mouth. I always wondered how they made it. Now I know. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
