Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups canola oil, for frying, plus 3 tablespoons
1 1/4 pound medium or firm tofu, cut into 1 1/4-inch cubes
1 cup yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes, cut into 3/4-inch wedges
3 tablespoons mirin (rice wine)
1/2 cup green onions, cut into 1-inch-long pieces
Salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat 4 cups canola oil in a 2-quart pot to 375°F. Working in batches, deep-fry the cubes of tofu until golden brown, making sure they don't stick to each other. Wait between batches for oil to return to 375°. Drain tofu on paper towels.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until hot. Add 3 tablespoons canola oil. Add onion and garlic, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring carefully, just until tomatoes begin start to break down, about 1 to 2 minutes. Deglaze with mirin and cook for approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tofu and green onions, stir, and season with salt to taste.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I always have a few extra tomatoes in my fridge, so this is a perfect way to use them up.

I'm not usually a fan of tofu, but this recipe changed my mind. The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
