Method
Preparation
Prepare the Tofu
Drain the firm tofu and wrap it in paper towels to remove excess moisture. Let it sit for about 15 minutes. Then, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Coat the Tofu
Spread the cornstarch on a plate and roll each tofu cube in the cornstarch until well coated.
Frying
Heat the Oil
In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Tofu
Carefully add the tofu cubes to the hot oil in batches. Fry until they are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried tofu to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Making the Tempura Sauce
Combine the Ingredients
In a small saucepan, combine the dashi stock, soy sauce, and mirin. Heat over medium heat until warm, then remove from heat.
Garnish
Finely chop the green onions and stir them into the sauce.
Serving
Plate the Dish
Place the fried tofu cubes on a serving plate and drizzle the tempura sauce over them. Serve immediately.
