Authentic Japanese Cooking: Thickening Part 1 - Fried Tofu with Dashi Sauce

The theme for this episode is Thickening Techniques (Part 1). We will take a look at Fried tofu with dashi sauce, which is extremely popular both at home and at Japanese-style pubs. Enjoy the smooth texture of fried tofu covered in a thick sauce that uses plenty of dashi. As a different variation there's Yuba no Ankake, which is chopped up bean curd skin in a lovely thick sauce. Topped with vegetables it makes a wonderfully healthy dish!
