This is not the most healthy dish, but once in while you need a doze of grease in your body to oil those old joints I'd say to justify having these delicious things :) The wasabi mayonnaise is key here, you can't have one without the other ok?
Ingredients:
- 1 block of tofu medium firm
- 2 eggs
- 1 sheet of nori (japanese seaweed)
- 1 Cup of oil for deep frying
Dipping Sauce:
- 3 T japanese Mayonnaise
- 1 t wasabi (more if you like it hot :))
- Mix together well (pic 5,6) while to egg-tofu is frying.
Serve 4-6
Preparation:
- Drain the tofu and dry with paper towel
- Scramble the tofu with the eggs until well mixed (pic 3)
- Shred the nori with scissors and mix in with the tofu and egg (pic 4)
- Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat
- Drop a tiny bit of the mixture into the oil, if it starts to sizzle right the way the oil is ready
- Make egg-tofu quenelles with a soup spoon and drop them into the hot oil
- Turn them over once with a spatula when they are golden on the bottom side
- Remove well both sides are golden and drain on a double layer of paper towels.
- Serve with the wasabi mayonnaise sauce, hot. yummy good!!
