Agedashi, Fried Tofu in Broth

March 19, 2020 by Benjamin and Koshiki Leave a Comment

Agedashi tofu was the ultimate best selling appetizer at Tanpopo Noodle Shop.  What made this dish so special was the marriage of creaminess of tofu, crunchiness of skin, savory broth and fresh ginger. It is still one of our favorites to make at home. For young eaters, skip the ginger and green onions.  Bon appetite!

-Thank you, Doug, Avery, and Eliot Johnson for the hand-made bowls.
