Pan-Fried Tofu Steaks

 

1 cup mixed dried beans

1 package silken tofu, about 11 ounces

1 tablespoon potato starch or cornstarch

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons soy sauce

3 tablespoons mirin

1 tablespoon sugar

3 tablespoons water

 

Soak the beans overnight in a bowl of water. Rinse, then boil in a large pot of

water for about 1 hour, until a bean pressed between the fingers is easily

mashed, then drain. Sprinkle the tofu all over with potato starch (do not drain

the tofu). Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the tofu, and fry until both sides

are golden. Add the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and water to the frying pan, and

heat until the mixture thickens. Arrange some of the beans around the edge of a

serving dish, leaving the center open. Place the tofu in the center of the dish.

Scatter the remaining beans around and cover with any leftover sauce from the

pan.

Makes 4 servings.

I love tofu, never thought to use beans. Why don't you drain the

tofu?
