This Japanese-style fried tofu dish is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a savory-sweet flavor from the soy sauce marinade. It's a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or main course.

Ingredients: 1 block firm tofu, drained and pressed. 2 tablespoons soy sauce. 1 tablespoon mirin. 1 tablespoon sake. 1 teaspoon sugar. 2 tablespoons cornstarch. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.

Instructions: Cut the tofu into square segments. To make the marinade, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar in a shallow dish. After dipping each piece of tofu into the marinade, let it sit for fifteen minutes. Once the tofu has marinated, evenly coat each piece with cornstarch. In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the tofu pieces for 34 minutes on each side, or until they are crispy and golden brown. Take out the tofu from the pan and set it on a plate covered with paper towels to absorb any extra oil. Serve hot as a garnish for rice bowls or as a dip for other foods.
