Tofu With Garlic Mirin Sauce image

I came up with this recipe as a result of becoming vegan, and no longer being able to eat mirin chicken with my Japanese friends. The glaze takes on a dark brown color, and coats the fried tofu very nicely. You may want to make extra sauce to serve over rice.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try using less soy sauce next time. Otherwise, the tofu was cooked well and the sauce was flavorful.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. The tofu was cooked well, but the sauce lacked flavor. I added some extra soy sauce and ginger, which helped a bit.
